    Microsoft Tafiti, a Showcase for Silverlight and an Experimental Search Service

    Microsoft has just released a new search service, called Tafiti. From the very beginning should be clarified that Tafiti is more of an example of what Silverlight is capable of rather than a real search engine product.  It is based on the 1.0 RC plug-in of Silverlight and uses the Live Search API, which means that you will get the same results as if you search in MSN or Live.Tafiti is rich, interactive and provides the user with some very nice features which the ordinary searches lack. As it name implies, Tafiti in Swahili means "do research".ShelfThe shelf is a space on the screen where you...

    ASP.NET Web Control Performance Test in Selenium

    Since Selenium has been designed as a browser-oriented tool, load/performance tests definitely aren’t among its strong points. With the help of Selenium Remote Control  one can make precise performance test in his/her preferred language (executing number of opening page steps for example and calculating the average time), but I will limit this post in a really simple example test based entirely on Selenium Core. I’ve used RadGrid as a complex Web Control to check whether its execution time exceeds over an accepted period. What the Selenium Core test needs is just a result available for verification. So adding the ...

    Q2 skinning

    I thought I should drop a line to let you know about our plans for changes in the common skins of the Asp.Net product line. For the upcoming Q2 release this September we are planning to refresh the default look of our controls, discontinue development of two common skins, and add two new common skins in their place. Default Skin Refreshed The current default skin (the look of the components when you drop them from the toolbox; browse a preview of all current common skins here) has served well, but the time has come for a fresher look. While we wanted...
