Before Q3 2011 was live we have introduced you one of the major new functionalities you can find in the release – the new Stored Procedure Editor. It is the tool that allows us now to present our stored procedure support as feature complete. Along with the visual interface the Editor is offering, we have enhanced the functionality that was available in previous OpenAccess ORM versions generating automatically methods in the OpenAccessContext that are calling stored procedures. The old version of this code generation used to produce methods such as this one: // Old code generation public object[] GetCarsDetails(string carMake) {     SqlParameter parameterCarMake = new SqlParameter("CarMake",...

In past releases, we included an example in our SDK that showed customers how to work with Dynamic Data projects when using OpenAccess ORM.  The process was not as straightforward as we would have liked, but it worked.  In this release we are excited to announce that we have greatly simplified this process by adding wizards, and a new provider, allowing OpenAccess ORM to work directly with .Net 4.0 Dynamic Data Web Applications, and Web Sites. Getting Started To use this new functionality, the first thing you need to do is build a Telerik OpenAccess ORM domain model. Once the domain...

With the Q3 2011 release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM we introduced three connection pool type settings. The OpenAccess Connection Pool, OpenAccess Connection Pool with OpenAccess Connection Management and the ADO Connection Pool. This blog post will show how these types can be used and when it makes sense to make use of them.     OpenAccess Connection Pool   With the type set to OpenAccess Connection pool, Telerik OpenAccess ORM will handle the connection pooling internally. Therefore a set of ADO connections is created that are maintained by the product. All settings for the connection pooling behavior can be configured via the settings dialog or...

In Q2 2011 we introduced the Profiling and Tuning advisor, which makes it easier than ever for developers using OpenAccess ORM to see what is going on behind the scenes.  In this release we are happy to expand on the profiler by introducing improved UI features, and a new Metrics view.  The new view makes it easy for developers, and system administrators, to keep an eye on the health of an application.  It displays metrics like committed transactions, rollbacks, connection pool health, and second level cache health.  All of these metrics can be displayed with almost no performance impact on the application due...
