    Selenium Scripts for RadControls; Firebug and XPath Support

    How do you, guys, use Selenium to test your RadControls? That question is really my favorite! It has been asked by our customers and I would like to answer it with this post. Actually I've been closely watching Selenium forums for the past several months. People often think using Selenium is difficult but I would disagree. This reference explains the basics of writing Selenium tests. It seems people identify easily which command to use. However, most people experience difficulties getting a proper locator.

    Today I had some strange experience. I have been hunting a strange bug that caused something to be placed in the ASP.NET session at a time that it was not supposed to be.  My biggest problem was finding out who was putting an object in the session and what that object actually contained. I already knew that the HttpSessionState instance was being stored in the current HttpContext's Items collection (thanks to Mr. Lutz Roeder, of course), and my initial plan was to inherit from HttpSessionState and intercept the calls made to methods like Add, Remove, etc.  Alas, HttpSessionState is marked as...
