ASP.NET components on DNR TV

The DotNetRocks TV show featuring Adam Cogan talking about ASP.NET components was pretty cool. I am relatively new to ASP.NET development, so I have little (nearly none) experience with third-party controls. Adam did a great job demoing and evaluating various components from the major vendors like telerik, Infragistics, ComponentArt etc.. If you are planning to use advanced controls in you ASP.NET development you should watch it. I don't think that his review was 100% thorough and accurate, but it was definitely interesting. One of Adam's observation was definetly inaccurate. He said that telerik radTreeView did not offer context menus, which might have been true a long ago. But if it didn't offer such menus, last week I would not have hunted for a bug concerning the rigth way to use its context menus. I have to thank a friend of mine, who works at telerik and was eager to assist me into solving the problem quickly. It turned out that I was looking at a piece of an outdated documentation.
