    New goodies in the Q2 Release of Telerik OpenAccess : Part II

    Yesterday Telerik released the Q2 version of OpenAccess ORM as well as the rest of the product line. Yesterday (Part I) I showed you the menus, Data Service Wizard, and new XAML templates. Today I will show you round tripping. Next week I will talk about RIA Services and model first. OpenAccess Q2’s new LINQ implementation and Visual Designer introduces database round tripping.  Now you can make changes in your model and persist them to your database table. (You always had the ability to make a database schema change and refresh your model.) Let’s see this feature in action. The Model Schema Explorer gives you a view of your mapped entities. If...

    New goodies in the Q2 Release of Telerik OpenAccess : Part I

    Today Telerik released the Q2 version of OpenAccess ORM as well as the rest of the product line. I’ll take you on a short tour of some of the new ORM features.

    Q2’10 Pre-Release Series: Telerik Reporting Introduces Report Interactivity

    The Q2 2010 release will take report interactivity in Telerik Reporting to a whole new level. The new version of the tool will allow end-users to drill through reports and subreports, to jump to other sections in a report, and to go to external web URLs. We have managed to achieve this functionality through the use of smart hyperlinks. With its new version Telerik Reporting will also introduce two new Data Source components aimed at improving the tool’s integration with Telerik OpenAccess ORM and ADO.NET Entity Framework. The new Data Source Components will allow users to codelessly connect the data report items...

    Q2’10 Pre-Release Series: Greater Productivity with OpenAccess ORM and Round-trip Mapping

    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.

Currently there is no strong integration between the two approaches in OpenAccess ORM. With Round-trip Mapping developers will be able to seamlessly employ either approach by reverse-mapping an existing schema then updating it by simply modifying the model classes or adding new ones. Simply...
