    Using OpenAccess Forward Mapping really allows you to focus on building a strong model, rather than getting caught up in the persistence details, and this can expedite development time dramatically.

    Items Drag and Drop for RadListView for ASP.NET AJAX

    With the 2010.Q1 release, RadListView for ASP.NET AJAX is getting a fancy new client capability.

Besides the usual AllowSomeFunctionality-type of property, all you will need to do will be: Use a CSS marker on an HTML element in the ItemTemplate / AlternatingItemTemplate to mark the bounds of a list view item.

It will start with building a model, then the DAL, and then move onto UI issues.  I will also show ways to handle large record sets with OA fetch plans/caching, and show some tips/tricks to help keep the UI...

    Rating column for RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX

    Here is yet another handy column type coming for RadGrid. The GridRatingColumn will show a RadRating control for every data item in your RadGrid, both in view and edit mode. GridRatingColumn will support 2 modes of interaction. In the standard mode, GridRatingColumn will behave like an ordinary editable column. It will display a read-only RadRating control when the item is in view mode and an editable RadRating control when in edit mode. Alternatively, the rating column will allow you to change the rating value even in view mode. Thus, when RadGrid posts back, you can get the updated value on the server...
