If you want to use Astoria out of the box without any modifications you really have to use the Entity Framework. But as long as you are using a data access library that supports IEnumerable and IQueryable (and IUpdateable to be useful for CRUD) you can use Astoria with just a little bit of extra work.  Telerik OpenAccess supports LINQ and IUpdateable and can be used in Astoria as shown here. In a nutshell you have to first create your data access layer, then a web site to host your ADO .NET Data Service and...

We received a couple of questions on how some of the days and hours in the different views of RadScheduler can be customized. The answer of this question is in the attached application illustrating how working hours and days can be  marked in orange.  The solution includes 3 easy steps : Create a custom theme using the default RadScheduler' theme. Create a ValueConverter returning the right color depending on the hour/day. Find the style applied to every hour(timeslot) and apply the converter to the Background property. To create a custom theme you can follow the steps...

The wizard creates some of the boring WCF code for you automatically. You can create endpoints for WCF, Astoria, REST collection and ATOM Pub services. Our first demo used WCF, later we will show you the other services. This is what we did: Created a data access layer automatically using OpenAccess Created a WCF Service automatically using the wizard Created a Silverlight 3.0 application that used WCF to databind the Customers table to a datagrid, enabling editing automatically Here is a video by Peter Bahaa (aka Pedro), .NET ninja in training, using the wizard with the...
