This week Telerik is releasing its Q3 version of its entire product line and the OpenAccess ORM will have more robust and native support for SQL Azure over what is currently available. I will expand on the example I did last week on connecting to SQL Azure by showing how to work with OpenAccess entities via WCF in a Silverlight application. The fist thing that you have to do is create a project for your data access layer and connect to SQL Azure. I started a new class library and used the Enable Project to use ORM wizard. This is where you...

    Connecting to SQL Azure with Telerik OpenAccess

    digg_url = "http://www.stephenforte.net/PermaLink,guid,b4b60e8a-953b-4cc6-b517-2b30ca985a42.aspx";digg_title = "Connecting to SQL Azure with Telerik OpenAccess";digg_bgcolor = "#FFFFFF";digg_skin = "normal";digg_url = undefined;digg_title = undefined;digg_bgcolor = undefined;digg_skin = undefined; With the official release of SQL Azure less than three weeks away, we are starting to see mainstream vendor support for SQL Azure. Telerik’s OpenAccess ORM is no exception. With the Q3 release of OpenAccess next week, OpenAccess will have full support for SQL Azure, going further than the basic support available today that I demonstrated on my blog last month. Full wizard support, forward and reverse mapping, and of course data services support via the Telerik Data Services Wizard. Let’s take a look at the basics here. Getting Started To get up and running and show the mapping and LINQ support, I will open Visual Studio 2008 (or 2010) and create a simple Console...

    digg_url = "http://www.stephenforte.net/PermaLink,guid,88d4e8cc-5c29-46de-9aa6-620462b5e20d.aspx";digg_title = "Telerik OpenAccess WCF Wizard October CTP";digg_bgcolor = "#FFFFFF";digg_skin = "normal";digg_url = undefined;digg_title = undefined;digg_bgcolor = undefined;digg_skin = undefined; The Telerik WCF Wizard that I have shown on this blog several times has been updated and is available on Telerik Labs for download. Whenever Telerik puts something up on Telerik Labs we hope that some early adopters will try it out and give us feedback. We had an amazing demand for the Telerik OpenAccess WCF wizard and got tons of feedback. The most overwhelming piece of feedback is the name of the wizard: so as of this CTP, the wizard is now renamed the Telerik Data Services Wizard. We made some key enhancements in this build for usability. The big thing is that you no longer have to...
