RadCalendarView: A calendar control which provides different date representations (in a week, month or year), different selection modes and events integration.
RadListView: A list control which provides popular list features that you will need in you app like: selection, item reordering, loading items on demand, etc.
RadDataForm: A control that provides an easy and versatile approach to processing data objects’ public members and building mobile forms fast.
RadSideDrawer: The control is a highly customizable drawer that uses slide-out design pattern and allows developers to embed any content inside the sliding panel from text and icons to sliders and filters.
RadDataSource: It is a non-UI control for working with in-memory data which makes it easy for developers to perform sorting, filtering and grouping operations.
RadScrollView: A layout container for a view hierarchy that can be scrolled by the user both horizontally and vertically, allowing it to be larger than the physical display.
RadFeedback: A control that provides the feedback experience for the end users and allows them to make a snapshot of any glitch they encounter and send it immediately.
