NOTE: This blog entry is specific to the old DockingManager control. If you are interested in using the latest version of the TCEK w/the RadDock, I've posted an updated blog entry here. Welcome to the fourth tutorial in my series of tutorials about the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit. This week, we will learn how to use the RadDockableWorkspace. I will be using the completed project from tutorial 2 as a base for this project. If you have not completed the second tutorial, I suggest doing so before completing this tutorial. You can find it here. Otherwise, click here to ...

Telerik OpenAccess ORM maintains several cache levels that can be used in various application scenarios. While the L1 cache is specific for each object scope, the L2 cache works on higher level as it is common to all object scopes in an application. But what if we want to have the cache working even on higher level – to be shared between many applications? The feature that has to be used in such scenarios is the L2 Cache Cluster. It provides the ability to synchronize the L2 caches of many applications that operate on the same database. To achieve this, each modifying transaction...

Developers have been using the REST specification for some time. If you are using Microsoft tools, ADO.NET Data Services aka Astoria is a very popular way to work with REST data. What you may not know is that Astoria works on top of WCF and you can write your own REST services outside of the Astoria model using WCF.

Microsoft introduced the WCF REST Starter Kit, a set of WCF extensions...

The paper is titled: “Using Oslo to Speed Up Database Development” and shows how you can use the new M language to model databases, browse that model in Quadrant, and tap into the power of the Oslo Repository. The paper shows how the model you make is mapped to TSQL and to SQL Server objects, including Tables and Views. It is pretty cool to see the following M type and its M values and how they will map to a TSQL script to create a People table and INSERT INTO statements for...
