The first blog post on this topic described how to create a domain model from an existing database and set inheritance relations between the generated classes. It was also shown how to use vertical mapping. In this post however, the focus is on the flat strategy (multiple classes mapped to one table) and forward mapping.
Let's add some new classes to the model from the previous post: The new classes - Coupe and Limousine, will be mapped to the table of the Car class. To do that, select each of the new classes and change the "Mapped to" option in the Details Editor...
Yesterday we released the first of series of Service Packs, following our outstanding Q2 2010 release. The first drop is for RadControls for WinForms, and features a fair amount of bug fixes. A noteworthy feature made it in Q2 2010 SP1 - and this is the ability to quickly switch from [now obsolete] RadPanelBar, RadTabStrip, RadComboBox, and RadListBox controls to their new counterparts: RadPageView and RadDropDownList and RadListControl. The idea is simple, and the transition process is quick, transparent and painless. Simply download and install RadControls for WinForms Q2 2010 SP1 and upgrade your application to use the latest version. Once you...
With the 2010 Q2 release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM we introduced a lot of new features, including forward mapping capabilities for the visual designer. This makes the life much easier when it comes to defining a domain model which contains classes in a hierarchy. Until now it was only possible to use the vertical strategy for mapping a class hierarchy but in Q2 we have enabled the flat strategy as well. Any combination of flat and vertical mapping is also supported. This leaves the horizontal strategy as the last one to be supported, probably later this year.
Now let's see how those things...
One of the key advantages of Telerik Automated Testing Tools is the ease of use. We have done our best to implement products that make automated functional testing really easy. Everyone can start recording tests after watching just a couple of quick videos. To demonstrate the intuitive interface and the ease of use of Telerik WebUI Test Studio we have produced a cool new Interactive Video Tour. The video tour helps you learn how to work with the QA Edition in no time. The videos actually replicate the tool's UI in a great detail and allow you to get to know the product ...
When TeamPulse is installed there are a number of components that are set up and configured on your server. One of those components is the TeamPulse Integration Service which is installed as a Windows service. The job of this service is to analyze your projects for best practices and to generate content that is to be used in the RSS feeds. The RTM version of TeamPulse was released with an issue regarding the TeamPulse Integration Service default account that I will help you work around (this will be resolved in the next release). Currently this service is configured to use ...

Last month Scott Guthrie announced a new ASP.NET View Engine called Razor. Then Microsoft released the beta of a new product called WebMatrix which was utilizing it. It also employed a new web framework called ASP.NET Web Pages. Then yours truly made a few attempts to use Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC in a WebMatrix page. The end result was promising. I waited for official Razor support in ASP.NET MVC 3. Then Scott “Almighty” Guthrie announced the first preview of ASP.NET MVC 3 which includes Razor support. This week I started to see how to improve Telerik’s Razor story… This blog post shows the end result. Telerik...

Last time we saw how to inject code in properties and static methods (including ones defined in static types). So far we are able to inject code in most common scenarios. In rare cases there is a need to isolate methods from mscorlib. In this post I will show you how do to this. Let's start with a demo program that I will explain in...
I owe an apology to a few hundred Telerik fans out there – I didn’t watch the road (aka webinar registrations) closely enough and I let it run too high up, to the point where we crashed GoToWebinar capacity (1001 attendees – that’s right - one thousand and one). If you want to watch the webinar that crushed GTW limits, you can see it at Telerik TV. As a result quite a few of you weren’t able to attend. I received a lot of messages (such as the one below) as well as pings on twitter about it. As we were nearing...
