Telerik Visual Studio Extensions Survey
It has been several months since we have started actively using the Visual Studio Extensions to make the life of Telerik customers easier. We have been regularly introducing enhancements in the extensions and we’d love to hear your feedback on how helpful these are. Please take this survey to help us drive our efforts in the right direction. (500 Telerik points will be added to your account!)

O# or The Fall Conference Speaking Schedule

It seems that I always miss Oktoberfest. I had friends who lived in Munich earlier this decade and each year my trips to Mt. Everest got in the way. Now that Telerik has a Munich office, I got to go to Oktoberfest (O#) with geeks. I can see the eyes rolling by the non-technical readers of this blog (basically my Mom is the only non-technical person who reads this blog), however, geeks can drink a lot, judging by how I had to... -

RadChart for SL/WPF: Data grouping and aggregation
Howdy folks! The RadControls for XAML Q3 Beta1 is out and it features an updated version of the RadChart control. We receive dozens of feature requests every day and one of the more substantial ones is the ability to analyze data with RadChart. The feature I will describe today is a great step in that direction. I’m talking of course about data grouping and aggregation. Just like grouping and aggregate functions are one of the major features of our GridView control they can be used with the charts as well (if you have the beta). Basically the feature allows you to group business... -

Create a SQL Azure CRUD Application with Telerik OpenAccess and the WCF Wizard
digg_url = "http://www.stephenforte.net/PermaLink,guid,a7d16ce5-33d4-475b-bb5a-32d38c2a99b4.aspx";digg_title = "Create a SQL Azure CRUD Application with Telerik OpenAccess and the WCF Wizard";digg_bgcolor = "#FFFFFF";digg_skin = "normal";digg_url = undefined;digg_title = undefined;digg_bgcolor = undefined;digg_skin = undefined; Over the past few weeks I have showed how to use Telerik OpenAccess with the WCF Wizard. I think that this wizard is a crucial piece of technology since I hate to write plumbing code myself, it takes me too long and I usually make mistakes. I wish that SQL Azure would provide RESTful and WCF services wrapped around your database tables and views with just a check box in the Azure management page. But alas, I can dream. Until that day arrives, you will have to code the services yourself. So I decided to do it with OpenAccess and WCF (and of course the Wizard.) First you... -

Filtering with string parameter that allows free user input
As you probably know, Telerik Reporting comes with built-in parameters and filters. Report parameters allow users to specify or control the data used in a report. They are extremely powerful when used in expressions for filtering, sorting, grouping or even directly provide a value. When used with filters you can limit the number of records in a report based on specified filter rules. If the conditions of the rules are met, the record is included in the report. Let's suppose we have a string parameter that allows free user input, wired up with a filter. This way the user has the freedom to type any word and the report would be filtered based on the parameter... -

RadGrid for ASP.NET Ajax and DomainDataSource
In July Microsoft released a preview of its upcoming Silverlight 3 RIA Services Framework which comes along with a new data source control – DomainDataSource. The DomainDataSource introduces a new way of accessing data by giving us a nice separation from the particular representation of our Data Model and more control over how the data is being retrieved or manipulated. This post will provide you with a quick walk-through on how to use the DomainDataSource with our RadGrid control. Install Microsoft .NET RIA Services July 2009 Preview As mentioned above the DomainDataSource control is part of the MS .NET RIA Services Framework, so... -

Continuing with the LINQ tips, today we provide a list of System.DateTime properties and methods that are supported by the Telerik OpenAccess ORM LINQ implementation. The table below provides the equivalent SQL function call for every member. Please note that the table lists the MS SqlServer specific SQL translation. Properties DateTime.Day DAY(date) DateTime.Hour DATEPART(hour, date) DateTime.Millisecond DATEPART(millisecond,date) DateTime.Minute DATEPART(minute, date) DateTime.Month MONTH(date) DateTime.Second DATEPART(second, date) DateTime.Year YEAR(date) Static Methods DateTime.Parse(String) value is parsed on the client side and the result is pushed to the server as filter DateTime.Parse(String,IFormatProvider) value is parsed on the client side and the result is pushed to the server as filter DateTime.Parse(String,IFormatProvider,DateTimeStyles) value is parsed on the client side and the result is pushed to the server as filter The various comparison operators...May 27, 2021 1 min readProductivityUsing the Telerik OpenAccess WCF Wizard with Multiple Versions of OpenAccess
digg_url = "http://www.stephenforte.net/PermaLink,guid,650656ff-6523-40cf-9ea3-ea027824e72b.aspx";digg_title = "Using the Telerik OpenAccess WCF Wizard with Multiple Versions of OpenAccess";digg_bgcolor = "#FFFFFF";digg_skin = "normal";digg_url = undefined;digg_title = undefined;digg_bgcolor = undefined;digg_skin = undefined; When the Telerik OpenAccess WCF Wizard shipped last month, it only worked with the Q2 version of OpenAccess. The problem is that Telerik makes internal builds of a product available in-between releases so developers can play around with new bits faster-and the OpenAccess WCF Wizard did not work with them. Telerik Internal Builds fix bugs out of band so lots of folks us them. The feedback we got on the WCF Wizard is that the wizard should work with any version of OpenAccess, including internal builds. The latest version of the Telerik OpenAccess WCF Wizard does just that. Now when you open the Wizard and you attempt to connect to...
