With this release, Progress also expands its industry-first suite of native components for Microsoft Blazor, Progress® Telerik® UI for Blazor, providing developers with all the tools necessary to build beautiful, high-quality native web applications in .NET, using C# instead of JavaScript.

Progress Telerik UI for Blazor
As the first set of native development tools available to support Microsoft Blazor, Progress Telerik UI for Blazor dramatically decreases the amount of time and effort required for developers to harness the power of Blazor.

Telerik UI for Blazor now enables developers to embed reports directly into a Blazor application through its integration with Progress® Telerik® Reporting, for generating a fast and easy preview within the Blazor application. In addition, Telerik UI for Blazor now includes new Grid features such as row virtualization, column reordering and resizing, scrolling and batch editing, and new components including Scheduler, ComboBox and Autocomplete. The release also brings to market new globalization and localization capabilities as well as full support for .NET Core 3.1.

“Blazor is an exciting new platform for Microsoft developers,” said Loren Jarrett, GM, Developer Tools, Progress. “We are proud to have been the first to provide the developer community with the tools necessary to build rich, high-performance applications using Blazor, and with today’s release, we’re extending that suite even further.
