OpenAccess ORM Second Level Cache API
OpenAccess provides you not only with one, but two caches for persistent objects. The first level cache is the cache that directly supports the IObjectScope and that is responsible for the uniqueing of database references. That means, it is responsible to assure that there is only one physical instance per logical database entity: Equal foreign key reference values lead to a consistent representation in memory so that no duplicate representation of a single database row exists within an IObjectScope. This cache also holds the modified objects in a scope. The first level cache is always present and there is a...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

MicroModels for Silverlight
Last week I was impressed by Paul Stovell’s marvelous project – MicroModels. In a nutshell a micro model is a view model over your objects, which allow you to define dynamic properties, collection and commands. You can read more about it in Paul’s introductory blog post here. Despite its great features, “MicroModels” has one big limitation - it does not run in Silverlight. And this is where my journey began. My mission was to port the code to Silverlight with little to no modifications. Porting the code to Silverlight The task was not an easy one, but after a lot of head scratching... -

Filtering GridViewComboBoxColumn in RadGridView for WPF
GridViewComboBox column is used to display lookup data in user friendly manner. For our demo we bind RadGridView for WPF to a collection of custom Location objects. As you may notice – each location has a selectable Country field. Here is the underlying ‘data model’. public class Location { public int CountryID { get; set; } public string CityName { get; set; } } public class Country { public int ID { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } } The location object contains the integer CountryID.Each CountryID corresponds to a certain country and with the help of GridViewComboBoxColumn we see some human readable country names instead of the...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

JustCode. What's the benefit of having solution wide analysis?
When I originally announced JustCode in an earlier post, I described its solution wide analysis feature as "it’s like having a compiler running all the time with the only difference being that it runs much faster." This is, of course, only true to an extent but as this is the major feature of JustCode I’ve decided to write a separate blog post describing, in detail, just how this feature can help you. I’ve also decided to split this blog post into several parts covering each of the different platforms support by JustCode as the solution wide analysis works differently depending on the... -

Handling multiple database connections with Telerik OpenAccess ORM
Very often it is necessary to work simultaneously with more than one database. In such cases it is recommended that each database is mapped to a separate class model residing in its own assembly. The object scopes that handle the persistent objects should be obtained from an instance of the Database class which represents particular database on the server. To make this process easier Telerik OpenAccess ORM generates a helper class named ObjectScopeProvider. How to benefit from this class will be described later in this post. To explain practically how to configure the Visual Studio projects, consider the case of having...May 27, 2021 3 min read -
