    Using Telerik Report WCF Service (or how to display reports in RadBook)

The industry's first native Silverlight Report Viewer allows you to display Telerik Reports in your Silverlight application while having all goodies that the Windows Forms and Web viewers offer. The new member of the report viewers' family sports report parameters, the new document map, true printing and export to all available formats, including PDF, Image (TIFF, PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF), Microsoft Excel (XLS), Rich Text Format (RTF), HTML, CSV and the new XPS. And all this power wouldn't...

    LINQ Tip of the week: LINQ and Fetch Plans

    Today’s post will discuss one of the most interesting topics in LINQ to OpenAccess ORM and that is of course the proper use of the Fetch Plans functionality. If someone still wonders why Fetch Plans are so interesting when we talk about LINQ the answer is simple – they can boost the performance of your queries in times! When one decides to use a fetch plan he/she always defines one or more fetch groups that are going to be used as part of it. Those fetch groups are containing only the fields that we want to select when we...

If you using it, you may be happy to know that you can use Telerik OpenAccess as a data source. Let’s take a look at how to use it with a SQL Azure Database as a back end. Getting Started First you need to map your SQL Azure tables to OpenAccess entities. I demonstrated this before on my blog, if you have not used OpenAccess and SQL Azure yet, read this post. (Don’t worry I’ll wait.) What I did for this demo is create a library project called Telerik.Reporting.DAL and mapped all of the Northwind tables in my SQL Azure database to OpenAccess entities in...

    How to map references and collections – Part 2

    In the first post we have described the ways to map a foreign key reference in the database to a reference, a collection or both in memory. This post continues the topic with the ways to map a join table. A join table is necessary if an m:n relationship has to be stored, but it also can contain the ordering inside a collection or the content of a dictionary. Let’s start with a simple join table in the database schema. Typically a join table contains two foreign key references, one to the left and one to the right table. 1) The natural way...

    Testing Could Be Elegant

    Mr. David Burns recently raised a pretty good question – is testing elegant? He lists a couple of examples how testing is far from elegant. The simple scenario he mentioned in relation to test automation brought my full attention – imagine a change in an element being used in many tests (could be a simple ID change, or any attribute modification for example). In such a case you may end up with a lot of failing tests and well, you should be extra careful even if any “global replace” is an option with your framework/tool. In this post I’d like ...
