If you have played around with the Fluent Mapping API you have most probably stumbled upon the issue of actually creating or migrating your database to the latest state. And while most tools suggest that schema operations should be performed during design time we give you the tools to either run them automatically or manually.  All you need to do in order to get your schema up to date is instantiate a context object and then access its schema handler. I have prepared a simple code snippet that makes sure every time I run my console application my database schema...

To accomplish this, we are going to use RadTransitionControl (a ContentControl) and RadCoverFlow (a ListBox)...

Download SqlAzure.EntityFramework (C# VS2010) - 160KB In the previous blog post from the series we discussed how to connect Telerik Reporting to a SQL Azure database using Open Access ORM with the OpenAccessDataSource component.

To connect to the SQL Azure database specify the server name and the login credentials of your SQL Azure account, then choose the AdventureWorksLTAZ2008R2 sample database as shown below: To create the entity model,...
