Hello everyone,

Here are the highlights of the new online resources we published this week from 10 Nov 2025 to 17 Nov 2025:

Article: https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/ai-components-and-features
Summary: This article documents the AI Prompt and AI Chat components in Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core and shows you how to configure Tag/HTML Helpers and connect them to OpenAI or Azure OpenAI through ASP.NET Core endpoints. It covers setup, provider configuration, client/server APIs, streaming responses, attachments, context and message history, and content safety basics to help you implement AI features in your application.

Article: https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/html-helpers/diagrams-and-maps/diagram/binding
Summary: You will bind the Telerik ASP.NET Core Diagram HTML Helper to your data so shapes and connections are generated from your schema. Configure DataSource and ConnectionsDataSource with model field mappings (Id, Text, X/Y for shape position; From/To for connections) and transport actions for server-side CRUD. The examples show remote binding, positioning, and handling data-bound events.

Article: https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/html-helpers/diagrams-and-maps/diagram/razor-pages
Summary: This article shows how to use the ASP.NET Core Diagram HtmlHelper in Razor Pages: configure separate DataSources for shapes and connections with AJAX transport to page handlers (via Url.Page), map model fields (Id, From, To), and include the required Kendo UI scripts and styles. It provides .cshtml and PageModel code for Read, Create, Update, and Destroy operations and demonstrates adding anti-forgery tokens to the requests.

Feel free to check them out and share your thoughts!

The Telerik Team

1. Is it hard to understand the version numbers of our releases? If yes, what makes them hard to understand them?

2. Would semantic versioning (SemVer) of our releases make it easier to understand our version numbers and what's behind them?

3. If we go with SemVer, we might need to start with version 3000.0.0 as we currently use 2022.x.x. Please share your thoughts about this approach and ideas for what number versioning would work best for you.

Hi Team,

In our ASP.Net Core MVC project we are using the Telerik Feed for automatic package restoration which work fine by setting up the Username and Password in the nuget.config file inside the %AppData% Folder(C:\Users\-----\AppData\Roaming\NuGet  present inside windows), but when we try to deploy build into the server Nuget package restore is failing. May I expect any assistance on this or any steps are we missing which we need to follow to get restoration happen properly on the server.

I have some quick questions around the new license key requirements for the UI for ASP.NET MVC, UI for ASP.NET Core and Reporting modules.

I understand from the FAQ that each licensed developer will have their own separate license key.  We build the project on a separate build server, and package it into an installer, and then customers who self host run our installer to deploy the application.  Is there a license key that needs to be part of the deployment package, and if so, what key is that, when does it expire, and what happens when it expires?  

What I want to ensure 100% is that we don't have a situation where a customer *has* to deploy or upgrade their version of our software, even if we ever discontinue our subscription.  I'm fine with developers needing to update license keys on development environments, and I'm fine with customer production environments needing a new license key *if* they are deploying a new version of our software that includes an updated version of Telerik.  But it is not OK for my use case if there's a situation where customer production environments that are on an old version of our software with no plans to upgrade will stop working or show watermarks and require an update to fix.

I appreciate any clarification around this topic, or a shove in the right direction to any documentation that makes this clear.

How do use the Loader as a Loading Container so it covers the whole UI with a transparent overlay 

@(Html.Kendo().Loader()
    .Name("loader")
    .Size(LoaderSize.Large)
    .Type(LoaderType.ConvergingSpinner)
    )

Hello,

I can't seem to find a component for asp.net core that will just rotate images on a home page for example. Am I missing something? What component will do this?

Thanks
