    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...

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 ...

    Telerik Data Services Wizard Walk Through

    Last week Telerik released the December CTP of the Data Services Wizard. I posted on my blog a video that shows how to get started, however, for those of you that like walkthroughs better, here is one using a WCF Data Services (Astoria) service. Getting Started: Mapping Data With OpenAccess To get started, first download and install the Data Services Wizard. After that, fire up Visual Studio and create a new Class library application named Telerik.DSW.Demo.Astoria.DAL. Run the OpenAccess “Enable Project to use ORM” wizard and then run the Reverse Mapping Wizard and map to your database. For this demo I mapped the Northwind database. Map as many tables as you...
