RadChart
New Features:
- Added two new 2D chart types: StackedLine and StackedSpline
- Added AxisY.ExtendDirection property. This property will define if and in which direction AxisY will automatically add an additional step in order to ensure there is always a gap between the graph and the chart area top/bottom end. It is respected only when AutoRange property is set to true and IsZeroBasedProperty is treated with higher priority. The possible values are:
- AxisExtendDirection.None - the Y axis will not be extended
- AxisExtendDirection.Down - the Y axis will have an additional item at the bottom
- AxisExtendDirection.Up - the Y axis will have an additional item at the top
- AxisExtendDirection.Both - the Y axis will have an additional item at both - top and bottom
- AxisExtendDirection.Smart - acts like AxisExtendDirection.Both with a single difference: the axis will never be extended outside the 0 value

- RadChart.TitleStyle - gets or sets the title style

- SeriesDefinition.SeriesItemLabelStyle - gets or sets the series item label style
- ChartArea.AxisXStyle - gets or sets the axis X style
- ChartArea.AxisYStyle - gets or sets the axis Y style
- ChartLegend.LegendItemStyle - gets or sets the legend item style
- PointMarks shape and appearance can now be customized through
- SeriesDefinition.Appearance.PointMark complex property

Breaking Changes:

I was trying to open a Project for one of the Telerik source code projects and got the above error.
All what I had to do is just make sure VS SP1 is installed. That's it.
Hope this helps you,
