"Progress Telerik UI for Blazor empowers developers to build high-performance, attractive applications in half the time," the company said. "With the new UI components, including Splitter, Slider, Range Slider and Loader Container, developers can quickly control layout, select numerical values and improve the user experience related to data and operations while the app is loading. New Grid capabilities include Loading Animation, Load Groups on Demand and Multi-Checkbox Filters."

Other new components and enhancements boost individual UI offerings for ASP.NET Core, WPF, WinForms, WinUI, Xamarin and more.
