    Bend Telerik OpenAccess ORM to Your Will With Type Converters – Part 2 : Enums

    In my previous blog I showed the basics of using Type Converters in OpenAccess ORM.  I even walked through creating a very basic type converter for storing an int as a varchar in SQL Server.  The example converter was very basic, so in this blog I would like to take a look at something a little more practical.  In this example I will create a converter that tells OpenAccess ORM to store the value of an Enum property using the enum value’s name. Out of the box OpenAccess will persist enum’s using the enum’s underlying type which by default is int. In...

    Telerik OpenAccess ORM, MVC Extensions, and Dynamics!

    While playing around with OpenAccess the other day, I wondered if it would be possible to have OpenAccess return a dynamic list, and if so, could I bind it to an MVC grid without specifying any columns names.  This could prove to be helpful in some reporting scenarios, where you just want the grid to output whatever a sproc, or query, returns.  This blog shows how to accomplish just that! Step 1 To accomplish this task we will be taking advantage of the ADO API we released in Q2 2011.  To start out I simply created an extension method for the OpenAccessContext, which...

Using the Templates These templates are for .NET 4.0; so when adding a new project make sure that .NET Framework 4 is selected in the drop down above the project template list.

    Bend Telerik OpenAccess ORM to Your Will With Type Converters – Part 1

    In Q1 2011, Telerik OpenAccess ORM introduced a flexible type conversion system. This type conversion system allows developers to instruct OpenAccess on how to map types that it may not support out of the box. This feature makes it possible for OpenAccess to work with built in UDTs, such as SQL Spatial and XML, as well as any custom UDTs developers create. What is a User Defined Type? SQL Server 2005 introduced user-defined types (UDTs). UDTs extend the SQL type system by allowing you to store objects and custom data structures in a SQL Server database. UDTs can contain multiple data types...
