LINQ Tip of the week: System.DateTime support
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.

Using 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... -

Quick Reference Guide for Telerik Support
In my time here at Telerik, I’ve discovered supporting our customers is something that we take great pride in. This has lead us to create a vast number of support options, some of which are easily noticeable and accessible and some which are less obvious. That is why, this week, I would like to take a time out from writing code to provide you with some information about our various support options. Product Support Pages (http://www.telerik.com/support.aspx) General support is quickly accessible through the Telerik website by clicking on the support tab. Here you will be able to easily ...September 16, 2009 6 min read -

Telerik CAB Enabling Kit for RadControls for WinForms moving to CodePlex
Being one of the first vendors to provide support for the CAB and the SCSF, Telerik is strongly committed to provide seamless and easy integration with the CAB infrastructure. We provide new releases of the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit for RadControls for WinForms (TCEK) with each Telerik release, and recently Robert Shoemate, our WinForms Developer Evangelist, posted several blogs on the features that we support. The interest in extending the TCEK has been so great that we decided to provide TCEK to the community as an open source project on CodePlex. We believe this will give you an incentive to provide updates...September 15, 2009 2 min read -

The video is done by .NET Ninja in training Peter Bahaa and uses the same ATOMPub project I showed yesterday on my blog. Enjoy!

If you missed the buzz, the Telerik team plans to distribute a beta release introducing new controls that will be officially included in the Q3 2009 release scheduled for November 2009. For those of you that didn’t have the opportunity to get familiar with what the new CoverFlow offers, take a look at my previous blog post here. One of the new pieces that will be part of the pack is the new CoverFlow control. It is important to note that from Q3 2009 all previous versions of the control will be replaced with this one, which is specifically built for...ReleaseDo you manage your software development through TFS? Telerik just released couple of free TFS tools for you
Shortly after the massive excitement Telerik’s Extensions for ASP.NET MVC created, the guys at Telerik are happy to share couple of new free tools with the developer community! Inspired by agile development best practices, TFS Work Item Manager and TFS Project Dashboard have also been extensively used internally at Telerik for over six months with great results. TFS Work Item Manager simplifies the process of organizing TFS work items – you can now access and alter all your tasks in a visually appealing and user-friendly way. Some of its highlights include Work Item grid filtering, grouping and aggregation; querying; iteration schedules; and a...ProductivityGain more control over your ATOMPub feeds with the Telerik OpenAccess WCF Wizard
digg_url = "http://www.stephenforte.net/PermaLink,guid,2e797d8b-915d-40ee-9cbb-4fc6f270d8bf.aspx";digg_title = "Gain more control over your ATOMPub feeds with the Telerik OpenAccess WCF Wizard";digg_bgcolor = "#FFFFFF";digg_skin = "normal";digg_url = undefined;digg_title = undefined;digg_bgcolor = undefined;digg_skin = undefined; Last week I showed how to use the Telerik OpenAccess WCF Wizard to automatically create a feed in Atom Syndication Format using the WCF REST Starter Kit’s Visual Studio project templates. Based on the feedback we have gotten from the community on the ATOMPub projects, Telerik has refreshed the WCF Wizard (go download it now) to enhance the ATOMPub projects. Let’s take a step back first. The Atom Syndication Format is for feeds, similar to RSS. So when you run the project that we looked at in my blog last week in default IE 8 (or IE 7) feed view, it would look something like this. This is no different from what my...ProductivityCustomizing the behavior of persistent collections
As most of you may already know, Telerik OpenAccessORM uses the TrackedList<T> to manage the collection fields of its persistent classes. The objects that belong to such collection are in a 1-n relation with the parent object that ‘owns’ the collection. Before getting to the point of this post, let me put few words about the behavior of the TrackedList<T>. When a new object is added to a TrackedList<T>(ex: order.OrderDetails.Add(someDetail) ),Telerik OpenAccess ORM persists that object to the database. The new object has a reference to the owner of the collection to which it was added. When one removes an object from...September 11, 2009 2 min read
