    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.

    Telerik Wins the Red Herring Global 100 Award

    Telerik has been named to the Red Herring Global 100 Award list.  The Global 100 is Red Herring’s list of the top 100 privately held global tech companies.
