    Creating a simple code snippet in Visual Studio 2005 – Part II

    Hi All, This is the second installment of the series "Code snippets in Visual Studio 2005". Well it has been quite a while since I updated my blog. My apologies, I think we all got too wrapped up in developing our new products and preparation of Q1 2006 release to remember to keep writing. However now I (having the time) intend to do just that. So creating a code snippet is a relatively easy task, however I will make a real case to demonstrate the creation process (refresh your mind on the topic here): - First create a text file (with your preferred editor, mine is...

    How interactive can things be?

    I recently came across a very interesting site with videos about Multi-Touch Interaction. The videos can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVI6xw9Zph8&eurl=I am a really big fan of interactive browser applications. Google Local and Microsoft Live Local are doing amazing things and, together with small companies like ours (http://www.telerik.com/ajax), are changing people perceptions about what can happen in the browser. Nonetheless, after watching this video, everything that's viewed as incredibly "interactive" on the web is a bit bleak compared to what you will see. Speaking about map interactivity, if you go to the middle of the video, you will see how a user interacts with a 3D geographical map. It's not happening on the...

    Code snippets in Visual Studio 2005 – Part I

    Many folks are bashing VS2005 but there are some really great things the folks at MS have added for us in VS2005. One of my personal favorites is the code snippets mechanism. I personally find this feature to be kind of underestimated and will try to give you some basic knowledge about what code snippets in VS2005 are, how to manage them, how to find new, and of course how to “do it yourself” By definition code snippets are referred to as “ IntelliSense Code Snippets” – by nature they are reusable, task-oriented blocks of code, encapsulated in a XML file...

    Telerik.QuickStart.XhtmlPage is a testing tool too!

    Many a customer has asked us "What, the heck, is XhtmlPage and do I need it to run your components?"  It is an oddity in our QuickStart examples application that needs some explanation.  Atanas, the creator of the class, has already started that in his "Making ASP.NET XHTML 1.1 compliant" post. Today I was describing a testing approach on the Extreme Programming mailing list that relied on the fact that our controls render standards compliant XHTML, and you could leverage that to write tests using the XML API in .NET -- XPath is sooo convenient for that.  And then it hit me!  What...

    Two types of jsUnit tests

    I am a big jsUnit fan. I can't imagine what JavaScript development would be like if that tool did not exist. We all know that code without proper unit test coverage is legacy code. It is a time bomb waiting to go off in the hands of the developer that touches it next. Over time I have noticed a pattern in my jsUnit usage. I usually wear one of two testing hats when writing tests:The browser compatibility hat. Most developers know how to do things in Internet Explorer, and Gecko-based browsers. Those differences are widely known and people are used to writing...
