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.

    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.

    Code. Just Code. JustCode.

    It's my pleasure to announce the youngest member of the Telerik product family - JustCode, a code analysis and refactoring tool. Actually "youngest" is not the most correct word to use because JustCode was born more than 5 years ago but "adopted" by Telerik in March, this year. In March Telerik acquired the JustCode product from the German-based company, Omnicore, and the founders of the company (and also the creators of the product) joined Telerik to help us take the tool to the next level. A few words about the founders of Omnicore; these are brilliant guys with lots of expertise in...

    Using Connection Strings with Telerik OpenAccess ORM

    As you might already found out, with the 2009 Q3 release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM we made the first step of providing an easier and more natural way of defining database connection settings for your applications. In other words, OpenAccess now supports standard ADO.NET connection strings. The aim of this post is to brief you how to use them with the product. To use Telerik OpenAccess ORM in a Visual Studio project, you should run the Enable project wizard first. A detailed article on how to use the wizard can be found in our documentation. Let’s just see what is new in this release....
