Connecting Telerik Reporting to SQL Azure via Entity Framework
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. Now it is time to demonstrate how to perform this with another very popular ORM – Microsoft ADO.NET Entity Framework and the EntityDataSource component. For the sake of this example we assume an existing SQL Azure account with the Adventure Works sample database already installed. Let’s start with a new ADO.NET Entity Data Model. 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,... -

Best Practice Debt and TeamPulse
In a recent blog post, Joel Semeniuk talked about something he called “Best Practice Debt” – referring to the ever increasing amount of work your team will need to consider as you put off following best practices.

Mocking Exceptions and Events with JustMock Free Edition
[Cross Posted from http://www.skimedic.com/blog] Mocking Exceptions When writing unit tests, it is important to cover not only the successful execution path (commonly referred to as the “Happy” path), but also test the code that gets executed when things don’t go right (commonly referred to as the “Unhappy” path). Testing for situations where services or databases are unavailable as well as erroneous user input are important aspects of ensuring quality in software.
