Migrating data from one database server to another
In today’s post we are going to discuss a topic which is known to be fairly complex in most cases but it is relevantly easy to be achieved with Telerik OpenAccess ORM. Let us consider the following scenario: your company decides to move your data access from one database server to another. So you have your database in a MSSQL Server instance and want to migrate to MySql. The schema is the same on both servers but the data resides inside the MSSQL Server instance. What follows is the easiest way to move all the data from the MSSQL server database to...October 16, 2009 2 min read -

Horizontal Table for your reports
Recent question that popped up from an user was how to create a table, where the table grows horizontally instead of vertically. This is easy as one, two, three when using our Table report item. I start off using the crosstab item as initial template for this task. As the table would be growing "in columns" instead of "in rows", we do not need a row group so we delete it. Then bind the crosstab to a sample business object making sure we've added as many static rows as we need. Next step in order to show all the data, we need to make sure that... -

RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX - Now with more speed!
The Q3 2009 release comes packed with goodies and we hope you'll enjoy the new additions to your toolbox. And it's fast too. For starters, a number of micro-optimizations on the client-side has resulted in less boilerplate code. But the big breakthrough comes on the server-side where you can expect improvements of up to 30%, depending on your scenario. So, how did we manage to do it? By deleting code, of course. Well, not just any code, but a reflection-intensive piece that was seeing a lot of use. Just don't spend too much time Reflecting.

The Telerik CAB Enabling Kit and SCSF - Tutorial 6: The RadTreeView UIExtensionSite
Welcome to the sixth tutorial in my series of tutorials about the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit. This week, we will learn how to use the RadTreeView UIExtensionSite.

Formatting Text in RadControls for WinForms Q3 2009
I am happy to announce a few new features coming in Q3 2009, related to text formatting. As you know, a couple of releases ago we added a feature called Html-like text formatting to our controls: Although we supported a very limited and basic set of HTML tags, our clients were happy with having the option to format text via HTML. We received a great deal of feedback on this feature, including many requests to support more HTML tags. Q3 2009 (the beta is coming out this week), comes with support for new tags in our parsing and rendering engine. The... -
