    Adding secondary tiles to your app

    Secondary tiles enable users to promote specific content and deep links. It enables you to personalize your app experience and give user the power on how they want to access data within their app. Consider a sample app that has a list of useful modules like Todo, Twitter, etc. When added to my dashboard I want to create a shortcut for that module in my Windows 8 start screen.

    Future Mocking

    Mocking legacy code is hard. Especially, if it’s a third-party library and you have little control over how it’s written. It is even more difficult to unit test a type that is instantiated internally. One can argue that it should be refactored to accept dependencies via constructor injection.  However, constraints such as time, budget, experience with the offending code, or even access to the source often prevent paying down the technical debt accumulated in these legacy systems.   This post will show you how to mock an external library (concept) where it calls a login service class that cannot be sent...

    Mocking LINQ Queries

    Unit testing LINQ queries can be really challenging. This requires a deep knowledge of how LINQ queries work and how they filter results based on predicate values.  While I am adopting test first development approach, it is most likely that I want to verify the behavior of a query for correctness. In this post, I will show how easy it is to mock a LINQ query using JustMock for a given context. First, let me build up the context with a simple entity class for Employee that has two properties: Next, I created a dummy context that inherits the LINQ to SQL...
