We have added some exciting new features to the upcoming release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM, offering new capabilities and further optimizing your development process.

The API allows us to add/edit/delete mail massages, appointments, contacts, tasks, etc. In this example we will show you how to access user appointments, but working with the rest of the assets can be done in the similar way. Setting...
