    Using shared columns with Telerik OpenAccess ORM

    Telerik OpenAccess ORM always implemented relations between entities as reference properties (you can have properties on the both ends, or just on the one you decide) and this was the only supported way until now. Starting from Q3 2009 release we also started to support relations that are based not on reference properties, but rather on properties that expose the foreign keys for the entities. This pattern proved to be very useful for Linq To Sql, despite the fact that it is considered a ‘bad practice’ in the OOP domain. With the latest release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM we...

    SQL Azure Lessons Learned: Building a Commercial Product with SQL Azure Support

    As you may know Telerik has built into most of its products support for Windows and SQL Azure. While at the PDC last November, Ben Riga interviewed me on what it was like to build a commercial product on top of Azure. I give a sneak peak at how we developed the software and how we leveraged SQL Azure. I talk about some of our pain points as well as where it was easy. The video is here, complete with my cell phone’s battery dying in the middle of our interview! Enjoy! Technorati Tags: Azure,Telerik

    Dynamic Query with Telerik OpenAccess

    With the introduction of LINQ the concept of querying data became a first-class language construct in C# and Visual Basic.  LINQ enables to you write type-safe queries which are checked during compile-time. While type-safe queries are fine for certain situations, there might be cases where you want to construct a query on the fly, at runtime, based on certain selections made by the user. This is usually done using a string-based representation of the query. How can this be achieved via LINQ?   The LINQ team at Microsoft provides the Dynamic Query Library which extends the core LINQ API with capability to use...

    Working with OpenAccess in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2

    If you’re like me, the end of the year represents a time when most other projects are starting to wind down and you finally have a chance to get back to testing some of those “fun” Microsoft betas. Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 is probably at the top of the stack. Microsoft’s next major update to the flagship IDE is getting very close to RTM, so now is a great time to start checking-out the tool.   What you should be pleased to know is that almost all of Telerik’s developer tools already offer a lot of support for VS 2010- even...

    Telerik WebUI Test Studio:The new RadInput translator

    When creating UI automated tests our main goal is to always simulate environment as close to the real one as possible. As you may all know simulating typing in an input has always been a pain when working with Selenium. In fact ‘pain’ is an understatement. There are scenarios which cannot be simulated at all with Selenium due to the fact that some client events of the control are not executed when they should. This is an indication that something is very wrong with the whole simulation as we are not getting the results which are observed when a ...
