Dynamic Data Support for OpenAccess ORM in Q3 2011 Release
In past releases, we included an example in our SDK that showed customers how to work with Dynamic Data projects when using OpenAccess ORM. The process was not as straightforward as we would have liked, but it worked. In this release we are excited to announce that we have greatly simplified this process by adding wizards, and a new provider, allowing OpenAccess ORM to work directly with .Net 4.0 Dynamic Data Web Applications, and Web Sites. Getting Started To use this new functionality, the first thing you need to do is build a Telerik OpenAccess ORM domain model. Once the domain... -

Organizing Your Tests
Naming and organization is critical in keeping software systems maintainable as you move forward, especially with larger systems or systems with longer lifespans. You’ll find yourself spending large amounts of time stumbling around unclear, tangled source code if you don’t take care with how you lay out your classes, namespaces, and projects. We should take the same exact care with our tests as the systems we’re delivering to our customers, because test code IS production code. Careful naming and layout of your tests is every bit as important as the system itself—and perhaps even a bit more since we ...November 22, 2011 6 min read -

Telerik OpenAccess ORM Q3 2011 – Connection pool types
With the Q3 2011 release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM we introduced three connection pool type settings. The OpenAccess Connection Pool, OpenAccess Connection Pool with OpenAccess Connection Management and the ADO Connection Pool. This blog post will show how these types can be used and when it makes sense to make use of them. OpenAccess Connection Pool With the type set to OpenAccess Connection pool, Telerik OpenAccess ORM will handle the connection pooling internally. Therefore a set of ADO connections is created that are maintained by the product. All settings for the connection pooling behavior can be configured via the settings dialog or... -

New Profiler View Added in OpenAccess ORM for Q3 2011
In Q2 2011 we introduced the Profiling and Tuning advisor, which makes it easier than ever for developers using OpenAccess ORM to see what is going on behind the scenes.

The new view makes it easy for developers, and system administrators, to keep an eye on the health of an application. It displays metrics like committed transactions, rollbacks, connection pool health, and second level cache health. All of these metrics can be displayed with almost no performance impact on the application due... -
