    Telerik OpenAccess ORM and Ado.Net Data Services Example Refreshed part II

    In the first part of this post we looked into providing data to the client using ADO.NET Data Services and Telerik OpenAccess. However it is very rare just to present data, as usually some processing is done by the application on the client side, data gets modified and it is pushed back to the server for persistence. With ADO.NET Data Services this is done by implementing the IUpdateable interface by the data context class used on the server. NOTE: We do not implement IExpandProvider at the moment. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so same is true for the...

    Teaser: Telerik Reporting CrossTab Wizard

    Telerik Reporting Q2 2009 release (expected within a week) would come with new table/crosstab wizards. As the first one is pretty trivial i.e. you set datasource for the table and select which columns to show, we would skip detail introduction, but showing off with the crosstab wizard is something we would gladly do :) As you can see our designers have prepared some really nice images to spice it up. Now let's go to the Arrange Fields step, where we select the fields from our datasource and arrange them into Row/Column groups depending on what we're aiming for. If we skip adding fields to the...

    Generic Data Access

    When using an ORM one of the first questions users have is: But how is my data accessed? OpenAccess uses a technique called Enhancement to augment the compiler generated code. It works like as if the compiler had weaved in some additional code - much like the AOP people are doing it. The added code allows to provide the application with the needed management, lazy loading and change tracking capabilities. Because the code is compiled, there is no need to use reflection and therefore guarantees you a speedy access to your data. Your database data just comes into the objects as...

    Telerik OpenAccess ORM and Ado.Net Data Services Example Refreshed

    This is a refresh of an older blog that demonstrates Telerik OpenAccess ORM working together with Ado.net Data Services and SilverLight. This time we updated the client-side a bit, using our RadControls for SilverLight. Since some of the steps are basically the same as in the previous example don’t be surprised if you find something familiar.   We are continuously investing into better LINQ support for our product, and this is just we need to plug into the Ado.net Data Services framework.   Now let’s get to the application! Firstly we have to build our data model. To do so add a library project to the...
