RadDataForm and RadGridView integration - popup editing.
Often collection data is better presented in a tabular view and better edited in a form view. Such UX approach is referred by our clients as “Popup editing in RadGridView”. With the help of the new RadDataForm and the good old RadGridView a few lines of code are needed to accomplish this. -

RadTreeView for WinForms Q1 2011 with a new engine under the hood
We were eagerly awaiting the Q1 release to demonstrate you the new cleaner and more flexible API that makes the work with RadTreeView fun. We also wanted to tell you something more about the benefits that come with the new data engine. Now that Q1 2011 is public and the improved RadTreeView is a fact, I would like to introduce the enhancements which we implemented during the last few months. The new data engine that we use in RadTreeView is actually our generic data layer used in RadGridView and other controls such as RadListControl and RadDropDownList. This allowed us to add... -

FireFox 4 supported by Telerik AJAX and MVC components
Right after the official launch of the new major version of the FireFox browser (you can download it from here) I asked our web teams to test the Telerik AJAX and MVC components against the latest version of FireFox. And guess what? Both suites support FireFox 4 and no modifications are needed! This is an acknowledgement that you can develop sites with our Q1 2011 AJAX and MVC bundles and be content when running them in FireFox 4. Pretty convenient, yeah? -

Upgrading OpenAccess Forward/Reverse Mapping Projects to Q1 2011 Fluent API and Visual Designer Projects
Back in Q2 2010 Telerik OpenAccess ORM introduced an Upgrade Tool which converted projects created with the old Reverse Mapping Wizard to use the Visual Designer. Well, Q1 2011 introduces a much improved second version of this useful tool. What are the improvements? Unlike the previous version that supported reverse-mapped projects only, the new Upgrade Tool can convert projects built upon Reverse and forward-mapped projects. And the best part of it is that, besides the Visual Designer, is that it utilizes the updated full-featured Q1 2011 Fluent Mapping API to achieve this. To upgrade your existing project and continue your development with the...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

Mocking constructor part 2
Often we end up in a situation where constructor call on the target type requires us to include a config file in our test project or requires firing up some external process. To better illustrate this if we create an entity framework data container either new or from an existing database , we will likely to end up with an entry point class that requires either a valid connection string to be passed or if we expand the default constructor we might see this: /// <summary> /// Initializes a new NorthwindEntities object using the connection string found in the 'NorthwindEntities' section of the application...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

Converting an Entity Framework Model to the OpenAccess Domain Model (Q1 2011)
Now that Linq-to-SQL is not going to be developed any more, it seems developers are left with little choice as to what ORM to use for their next projects. The ADO.NET Entity Framework seems to have become the ORM of choice for most Microsoft developers, who want to address the impedance mismatch across various data representations, but although very good and quite powerful, it falls short on some important characteristics of modern-day development: Visual Mapper/Entity Designer with advanced capabilities; Lack of native support for databases different from SQL Server; Release cycle of 2-4 years; Advanced/dedicated technical support; No built-in caching layer; We are sure that code-first...March 21, 2011 6 min read
