In the future property editors/datatypes will be based on angular.js, which means there will be no more user control wrapper. The default rendering mode will also be MVC rather than webforms even though this is still possible to change in the /config/umbracoSettings.config file.
I'm not sure about backwards compatibility in regards to datatypes that are wrapped using the user control wrapper though. But HQ are striving to make sure many packages etc. are backwards compatible but I don't think they can take every scenario into account.
How can I use usercontrol
Hi,
I used Umbraco for 3 years and I created a lot of user control wrapper.
Today I created a new website with Umbraco 7 and I was suprise to discover that the datatype "user control wrapper" doesn't exist anymore.
In my usercontrol I use a lot of telerik component like radgrid, radupload, radtreeview, ...
Is there a solution to continue using the usercontrol ?
If it doesn't I think it is a terrible mistake and we loose in flexibility.

The cogworks has made a PDF tutorial on how to create property editors using angular and there is some documentation about it on githhub as well.
Hope this helps.
