    Telerik OpenAccess SP1 Available

    Telerik has released Service Pack 1 of OpenAccess ORM, available now for download. There are a lot of new features (and of course bug fixes) but the three most important are: The new LINQ implementation works fully with Visual Studio 2010 The Data Services Wizard is now fully integrated with the product, no separate install A beta of RIA Services support I will be doing a blog post on each of these in the coming weeks (expect some delays with TechEd US in the way.) One more thing to mention is that the Data Services Wizard now generates a Silverlight client and will give you the ability to automatically style...

    12 days, 6 countries…

    I’m about to leave for a 12 day road trip that will take me to six different countries on three continents. My first stop, arranged by Adam Cogan and Telerik, is an Agile Seminar in Sydney, Australia. Should be fun, at least they already know what Rugby is and will get my sports references.  I will also be speaking on Silverlight at the Sydney .NET User Group. I’ll be doing my WCF walk through and then a RIA Services demo, about 2 hours, no slides, only Visual Studio. In addition to my presentation, I will also be demoing the new Telerik Data Services Wizard at the user group and show how...

    Speaking at Project Management Day in Romania

    I’ll be doing my (in)famous Scrum seminar in Bucharest, Romania on May 26th at Project Management Day, hosted by PMI and Microsoft.

Negotiating with the business, estimation and team dynamics are all discussed as well as...

    Telerik’s new LINQ implementation and MySQL Part II: OData Service and Silverlight App in 30 seconds

    About a month or so ago I showed on this blog how to connect to MySQL using Telerik's new LINQ implementation.  Today I will show you how to take it one step further and build an OData service automatically using the Telerik Data Services Wizard. Just for fun, we will also automatically add a full CRUD Silverlight application that consumes the OData service. We’ll do this all in 30 seconds! To get started, you have to download MySQL 5.x and the MySQL Workbench and also, as my colleague Alexander Filipov at Telerik reminded me, make sure you install the MySQL .NET Connector, which is available here.  I like to use...
