This tutorial demonstrates best practices for managing a web application with Telerik OpenAccess ORM used for the Data Access Layer. This sample shows how to integrate the Telerik ASP.NET Ajax controls with Telerik OpenAccess ORM. A recommended approach for handling database interaction logic is on the spotlight. The front-end layer is smoothly developed with the Telerik ASP.NET Ajax controls which use a service functionally dependent on Telerik OpenAccess ORM.

For more advanced ASP.NET demos, you could refer to the OpenAccess Samples Kit. It is an easy to use resource browser that includes various demos and relevant information for the developers. The samples are grouped by technology (ASP.NET, Silverlight, WPF, WCF, N-Tier, etc.) and can be filtered by programming language (C# or VB.NET) and complexity (levels 100-400). The OpenAccess Samples Kit is intended for browsing the code samples offline, so it should be downloaded and installed separately from the Telerik OpenAccess ORM product.

The walkthroughs in this section are intended for users who are familiar with developing applications for ASP.NET by using Visual Studio and know how to work with Telerik OpenAccess ORM. To complete the walkthroughs, you must have the following installed:

• Telerik OpenAccess ORM, which can be downloaded from here.
• Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax, which can be downloaded from here.
• SofiaCarRental sample database.
