    Using Telerik’s new LINQ implementation with WCF RIA Services Part II: Query Methods

    In my last blog post, I showed how Telerik’s new LINQ implementation works with WCF RIA Services. In that post I built a Domain Model from the Northwind database as well as a RIA Services Domain Service. I then showed the drag and drop features of RIA Services and created a simple Silverlight application with no code. Today we are going to take that example one step further by creating some custom server side Query Methods. A query method is just a facility to query a data source. In RIA Services, you define a query method explicitly so it can be used on the client. This is pretty straight forward...

    Mocking the File System to Improve Testability (with JustMock)

    Many applications require access to the file system to create, modify or delete files and folders. But how do you make sure that such application behaves correctly? You do it with tests of course but there is a catch: In general it is not a good idea to have tests that are performing Input/Output operations like accessing files and databases. When you need to test I/O operations mock objects are your friend. And before I go into more details let me point out some of the benefits of mocking. Usually faster than performing I/O operations You do not have have to deal...

    Adding custom interfaces to your mock instance.

    Previously, i made a post  showing how you can leverage the dependent interfaces that is implemented by JustMock during the creation of mock instance. It could be a informative post that let you understand how JustMock behaves internally for classes or interfaces implement other interfaces into it. But the question remains, how you can add your own custom interface to your target mock. In this post, i am going to show you just that. Today, i will not start with a dummy class as usual rather i will use two most common interfaces in the .NET framework  and create a mock...
