LINQ Tip of the week: LINQ and Fetch Plans
Today’s post will discuss one of the most interesting topics in LINQ to OpenAccess ORM and that is of course the proper use of the Fetch Plans functionality. If someone still wonders why Fetch Plans are so interesting when we talk about LINQ the answer is simple – they can boost the performance of your queries in times! When one decides to use a fetch plan he/she always defines one or more fetch groups that are going to be used as part of it. Those fetch groups are containing only the fields that we want to select when we...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

Today i will show how to view that same report in Silverlight using the industry’s first native Silverlight report viewer. All of this is in the Telerik documentation, however, since we have our cool SQL Azure demo already up and running from yesterday, I figured it would be fun to show how to reuse the same report and view it in Silverlight. Getting Started Remember from yesterday that we have three projects in our solution: Telerik.Reporting.DAL-the class library project containing our OpenAccess entities (mapped back to SQL Azure tables) Telerik.Reporting.RptLib-the class library project containing... -

How To: Toggle Row Details one at a time with Telerik RadGridView for Silverlight
If you are familiar with the Row Details feature of RadGridView, you probably have used the VisibleWhenSelected mode in the beginning. In case you have not, you should definitely check out the online example of Row Details. A couple of months after the Row Details debut, we introduced a new type of column called GridViewToggleRowDetailsColumn, which does exactly what its names says – it provides and easy and fast way of toggling the details visibility of individual rows. Now, what if you are using this specialized column, but want to achieve a VisibleWhenSelected-like behavior. Let’s see how to hide the previous row details...May 27, 2021 1 min read -

If you using it, you may be happy to know that you can use Telerik OpenAccess as a data source. Let’s take a look at how to use it with a SQL Azure Database as a back end. Getting Started First you need to map your SQL Azure tables to OpenAccess entities. I demonstrated this before on my blog, if you have not used OpenAccess and SQL Azure yet, read this post. (Don’t worry I’ll wait.) What I did for this demo is create a library project called Telerik.Reporting.DAL and mapped all of the Northwind tables in my SQL Azure database to OpenAccess entities in... -

RadFormDecorator –Skinned Radio Buttons, Checkboxes, Focus Dots and Accessibility
The sole purpose of this blog post is to answer to frequently asked questions concerning the support of the visual clues (focus dots) of the checkboxes and radio buttons styled with RadFormDecorator. The focus dots that appear upon tabbing on a clickable HTML element (a, input, button, checkbox, radiobutton, etc) is a visual clue showing that the element is accessible via the keyboard or other device facilitating its manipulation. Unfortunately, browsers differ in the support of focus dots. According to the accessibility specifications, a checkbox or radio button has to be associated with a label tag, in order to make the clickable area of the... -

Pre-filtering RadGridView for Silverlight
In the last couple of weeks we have received several requests for a new feature. Imagine that you want to display RadGridView already filtered by a certain criteria. You could always do this in the past by writing something like this: 1: <telerik:RadGridView Name="playersGrid"> 2: <telerik:RadGridView.FilterDescriptors> 3: <telerikData:FilterDescriptor Member="Country" Operator="IsEqualTo" Value="England"/> 4: </telerik:RadGridView.FilterDescriptors> 5: </telerik:RadGridView> Now, that is perfectly legal and the grid will come up filtered. The filtering UI however, will not be aware of this. Expressed in other words, this feature might sound like this: “I would like to programmatically achieve the same effect that is achieved by filtering the grid with the...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Today I will give you more information about them: Categories: There are some built-in categories in RadScheduler and in its edit dialog.

Coming up in Q3 2009 SP1 - RadEditor thumbnail support
One of the cool new features, that will make its way in the Q3 2009 RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX service pack release, is the additional thumbnail option in the Image Manager dialog. When you select an image, that ends with a specific suffix (e.g. "_thumb"), and there is an image with the same name but without the suffix in the current folder, the image dialog will offer the ability to automatically create a link to the original and open it in a new browser window. Here is how this will look like: We hope that this will provide a much quicker... -

Quick peek at the new OpenAccess class name generator
A very common concern in Telerik OpenAccess ORM (as well as almost every other ORM product on the market) is how the names of the classes that represent your database tables are formed. Basically the mechanism for generating such names follows a simple pattern – the database table name is in plural form and the class name in the model is in single form. However, in the past OpenAccess covered a really small area of all the rules present for singularizing a given word. As of Q3 2009 this is not an issue anymore. We have implemented a simple, yet powerful...May 27, 2021 2 min read
