    I get an error:
    could not load assembley .... Telerik.CMS.Web.UI Version=3.7.2057.3

    Is this because the control is not compatable with SF 3.7 SP3?
    ( looking for a previous service pack level of SiteFinity? )

    If this is correct, do you have a version that will work with SP3 ?

    You will have to recompile against your specific version by repointing the reference files to your bin folder.

    I have this plugin working on Sitefinity 3.7 SP3. I have to recompile it based on the Telerik 309. But I think this plugin has a bug, because if you don't specify the DisplayExpired property to False, it wont filter by Category.
    This is in the BindData method on the NewsRotator class.
    I modify this method to achieve the filter and works really fine.
    Anyway, I'm not sure if it is a bug, right ??

    @Hector, you are right. I have fixed the bug and converted this to a user control. So there is no need to recompile for different version.

    @Anatoliy, things are much easier to install. Just add to the toolbox through the interface and that's it!

    You can download the new version at the "Download from Publisher" link above.
