A possible workaround is to override the CSS for tiles that need no selection abilities: <telerik:RadContentTemplateTile runat="server" ID="RadContentTemplateTile1" EnableSelection="false" CssClass="noSelection"> </telerik:RadContentTemplateTile> .noSelection div.rtileSelectedIcon { display: none; } div.RadTile.rtileSelected.noSelection { border: 2px solid transparent; }
