Join Telerik Evangelist Kevin Babcock as he takes you on a tour of Telerik's new Object/Relational Mapper, OpenAccess. Finding a full-featured, yet easy-to-use, ORM is increasingly important these days as software developers aim to build applications more quickly. In this introductory session Kevin will demonstrate how easy it is to build your data layer using OpenAccess. You'll see how to transform tables into persistent classes using the Reverse Mapping wizard, and how to take existing classes and let OpenAccess create the database schema using the Forward Mapping wizard. Kevin will wrap up the session by demonstrating the ease with which you can use OpenAccess' first class LINQ support or the new OpenAccessDataSource control to hook up your data layer to the ASP.NET and WinForms data components with which you're already familiar. For those of you ready to get started with OpenAccess or just curious what this new product is all about, this is definitely a session you don't want to miss!
