The RadControls from Telerik is a great set of components to develop an interactive site. It has a lot of building blocks for developing web sites, a few that we examined here. Before any developer can develop a site, it is important to know what goes on behind the scenes to make it work, and I hope I was able to shed some light on some useful controls. The PanelBar, Rotator, and Dock set of controls are very useful tools to add to any web site.

So far, the UI is not that compelling, but it is a lot better out-of-the-box than what it would have taken to develop otherwise.  Below is the main page for the test site. Remember that it is only test data, so I do not have any real content yet.
