The first blog post on this topic described how to create a domain model from an existing database and set inheritance relations between the generated classes. It was also shown how to use vertical mapping. In this post however, the focus is on the flat strategy (multiple classes mapped to one table) and forward mapping. Let's add some new classes to the model from the previous post: The new classes - Coupe and Limousine, will be mapped to the table of the Car class. To do that, select each of the new classes and change the "Mapped to" option in the Details Editor...

Yesterday we released the first of series of Service Packs, following our outstanding Q2 2010 release. The first drop is for RadControls for WinForms, and features a fair amount of bug fixes. A noteworthy feature made it in Q2 2010 SP1 - and this is the ability to quickly switch from [now obsolete] RadPanelBar, RadTabStrip, RadComboBox, and RadListBox controls to their new counterparts: RadPageView and RadDropDownList and RadListControl. The idea is simple, and the transition process is quick, transparent and painless. Simply download and install RadControls for WinForms Q2 2010 SP1 and upgrade your application to use the latest version. Once you...

With the 2010 Q2 release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM we introduced a lot of new features, including forward mapping capabilities for the visual designer. This makes the life much easier when it comes to defining a domain model which contains classes in a hierarchy.

Any combination of flat and vertical mapping is also supported. This leaves the horizontal strategy as the last one to be supported, probably later this year. Now let's see how those things...

One of the key advantages of Telerik Automated Testing Tools is the ease of use. We have done our best to implement products that make automated functional testing really easy. Everyone can start recording tests after watching just a couple of quick videos. To demonstrate the intuitive interface and the ease of use of Telerik WebUI Test Studio we have produced a cool new Interactive Video Tour. The video tour helps you learn how to work with the QA Edition in no time. The videos actually replicate the tool's UI in a great detail and allow you to get to know the product ...

When TeamPulse is installed there are a number of components that are set up and configured on your server. One of those components is the TeamPulse Integration Service which is installed as a Windows service. The job of this service is to analyze your projects for best practices and to generate content that is to be used in the RSS feeds.
