    WebAii Testing Framework: From HTML to XAML and Back -- RadHtmlPlaceholder

      Along with the Service Pack of RadControls for Silverlight Q2 we released an update of the free test automation solution, the WebAii Testing Framework. There are additions, fixes and improvements in all the components including the core WebAii, WebAii RadControls for Silverlight and ASP.NET AJAX. With this post I’d like to bring your attention to the latest addition to our Silverlight controls wrappers – the RadHtmlPlaceholder one. As you probably know, the control itself is a pretty useful component part of the RadControls for Silverlight suite.

    Using ADO.NET Data Services with Telerik OpenAccess and the WCF Wizard

    digg_url = "http://www.stephenforte.net/PermaLink,guid,9a2c41de-b873-4acb-a680-78a2f130a03d.aspx";digg_title = "Using ADO.NET Data Services with Telerik OpenAccess and the WCF Wizard";digg_bgcolor = "#FFFFFF";digg_skin = "normal";digg_url = undefined;digg_title = undefined;digg_bgcolor = undefined;digg_skin = undefined; I have been a big fan of using the RESTful ADO.NET Data Services (aka Astoria). If you want to use Astoria out of the box without any modifications you really have to use the Entity Framework.

    digg_url = "http://www.stephenforte.net/PermaLink,guid,1d3d07a0-ce73-4eb3-8fd4-1ec259e21a60.aspx";digg_title = "Telerik OpenAccess WCF Wizard: How-to Video #1";digg_bgcolor = "#FFFFFF";digg_skin = "normal";digg_url = undefined;digg_title = undefined;digg_bgcolor = undefined;digg_skin = undefined; Last week I showed how to use the Telerik OpenAccess WCF Wizard on this blog. The wizard creates some of the boring WCF code for you automatically. You can create endpoints for WCF, Astoria, REST collection and ATOM Pub services. Our first demo used WCF, later we will show you the other services. This is what we did: Created a data access layer automatically using OpenAccess Created a WCF Service automatically using the wizard Created a Silverlight 3.0 application that used WCF to databind the Customers table to a datagrid, enabling editing automatically Here is a video by Peter Bahaa (aka Pedro), .NET ninja in training, using the wizard with the...
