We can update our extensions to honor the ImplicitUsings settings set globally for new projects. For the item templates, we will need to also check the project settings.

Currently, after installing Visual Studio 2022 and Telerik UI for WinForms suite on a Windows 11 Arm I cannot see any extension installed on Extension menu:

Stop Expanding ALL the Telerik Toolbox control groups when Visual Studio 2017 loads a project! YES, we know your there! We PUT you there.. If we need you, we know where you are! Please quit over-convoluting the toolbox menu by obnoxiously expanding all your toolbox control groups!

It appears that RadControlSpy.dll isn't packaged with any of the Telerik.UI.for.WinForms NuGet packages and isn't available as a standalone package.

This request is to make the DLL available as a standalone NuGet package available on the Telerik NuGet server.

I see no use for the templates that are currently provided. I'm never going to build a new Word or Outlook type application. Some templates that might be useful would be along the lines of structure for business apps. Something that would give a framework for building apps for business use.

The tool should build the assemblies as described here:

This way, one will be able to connect to e virtual machine where the desired product is already installed and ready for use.

When a form has any RadControl on it and is configured to be localizable then a resource file is generated. For each RadControl on the form there are entries in the resource file that specify the current version of the RadControls.

Implement update of the

Currently RadControls for WinForms targeting .NET2.0 are always added to the GAC. This feature should be optional so customers can have in GAC only controls they use .

When I choose a new WinForms project, please give me the option of having form1 be a RadForm, rather than a Windows Form.

This way, I have to  change the new project as soon as it is created (or copy over some saved code).

Our development process includes several applications that use the UI for WinForms. As such, we will download the latest release and evaluate all of our applications against it prior to updating all of our developers and our build servers. However, using the Control Panel does not provide any option for maintaining the previous install, so whichever developers are doing the evaluation have to manually reinstall the prior version, or manually install the new version, in order to be able to roll back if we decide not to adopt the latest release. 

Please add an option in the control panel to maintain the previous version when installing updates.

One of the programs we develop is internal, and this makes it a good testing ground for the Telerik updates to make sure there aren't any bugs that will negatively impact customers using the other software we sell. When using the Telerik Control Panel to update to a newer version of Telerik, older versions are forced to be uninstalled. This requires us to go back and reinstall the older versions immediately afterwards until we're ready to update our other software to the latest version of Telerik. It would be very helpful if we could install newer versions without the requirement of uninstalling the older versions.

Thank you!

I've started to use your controls again after a bit of a break. I find myself hunting all over the properties to find the ones I need. How about an option to "pin" a few properties  so that they will be at the top of the list, so they are easy to find?
