    Forward mapping a model with associations

    In this post we will discuss how to add associations in a forward mapping scenario with our Visual Designer. We will start from scratch and build a model with two entities – Category and Product where each Product belongs to at most one Category (a zero-or-one-to-many relationship from the categories to the products). 1. In the solution explorer right-click your project (where you want to add the persistent types) and select OpenAccess -> Add Domain Model. We will create an empty model.     2. The next step is to create a new database which we will name WarehouseDB. Creating a brand new database can be achieved...

    Mocking LINQ to SQL [Continued…] using RLINQ

    After making the post on mocking LINQ to SQL, this morning i was having a chat with Stephen forte and come to know that telerik a has product named RLINQ. RLINQ is built on top of OpenAccess and it supports variety of databases. Being curious, i thought of giving a spin with it and may be try to mock its LINQ to SQL implementation using JustMock.   Now, before i start, i also found that OpenAccess has a free / express version that works on top express database [Ex.sqlexpress] but supports all the features that full version offers. I will be using the...

    Telerik enters the Agile ALM space

    People usually know Telerik for our individual developer productivity tools. With the release of TeamPulse yesterday, Telerik is entering the Agile ALM space and delivers team productivity tools to the market. The idea for TeamPulse was hatched a long time ago at Telerik. It started when we realized that we had a lot of agile teams that compete in a very dynamic marketplace. Our teams at Telerik are agile, high performing, and need to rapidly react to new conditions. (I remember when we were building our Silverlight controls, each CTP/beta of Silverlight v 2.0 broke our code so deeply that we had to start over at each beta!)...

    Explained: RadGridView for WinForms virtualization and its implications. The case with CellElement and RowElement

    As the Logical vs. Visual Grid Structure help article states, RadGridView for WinForms uses virtualization for its cells/rows and as of Q2 2010 there is column virtualization as well. What is virtualization? To put it simply, when you bind RadGridView to a DataTable with 1000 rows, you get 1000 data row objects created in RadGridView (of type GridViewDataRowInfo). However, not all data row objects can be visible at the same time in the RadGridView estate in your application. This is why only the visual rows that can be shown in the estate get created (these visual rows are of type GridDataRowElement), or about...

    New goodies in RadGridView for WinForms: Drag and drop with RadGridViewDragDropService

    One of the new goodies that came with RadGridView Q2 2010 is the brand new drag and drop API, which offers a very flexible way to create custom drag and drop scenarios with ease. Each instance of RadGridView is associated with RadGridViewDragDropService that handles user drag and drop operations. It gives you out-of-the-box reordering of columns and movement of items between the group panel and the columns header. The service is also responsible for rows reordering in unbound mode when grouping and sorting features are not applied. In many cases, developers need to implement complex custom scenarios that are not covered by our products by default....
