Release

With Q2 2010 Telerik OpenAccess ORM will raise the standard for data access productivity with the introduction of Round-trip Mapping for the Visual Designer for OpenAccess ORM. This feature will free developers from the constraints of having to choose between “forward” and “reverse” mapping approaches when creating a project and not being able to change this afterwards. Currently there is no strong integration between the two approaches in OpenAccess ORM.
