    How precise automated tests catch totally unexpected bugs

    You may remember my post where I mentioned the technique I like regarding writing precise Selenium tests. I believe the good test has double value if it doesn’t verify just the case it is written for, but even catches totally unexpected bugs. How does such test look like? Several days ago our Web Grid developers were working on resolving a weird bug in the control. As soon as the new build was ready, I started Selenium tests execution to verify that everything with the build is OK. Some of the tests failed, though, throwing an error that a specified element ...

    Setting appearance using Themes

    RadControls "Prometheus" can be easily configured to use ASP.Net 2.0 Themes the same way you would do for the ordinary ASP.Net controls. A chosen theme can be shared among multiple controls and pages and thus make group re-configuration extremely easy. You can see the following video which demonstrates how to configure RadEditor, RadWindow and RadCalendar "Prometheus" controls to use the WebBlue skin from a Theme: Setting Appearance Using Themes.

    Automatic operations with RadGrid and SqlDataSource control

    Although many of you are probably familiar with this project from the code library section on our site, I thought it is worth the effort to demonstrate once again in public how easily (with literally zero lines of code) you can configure RadGrid to perform automatic data-editing operations and refresh the data in the database directly. The video I have prepared for this purpose is available in this section on our site, below is the direct link: http://www.telerik.com/ClientsFiles/product.videos/32/ On a side note, for Martin and all the others who had problems with the screen size of the Excel-like filtering video posted before, I am pleased to...
