    Google Chrome - The browser in a Pokémon ball

    Well, someone finally did it! They've put a web browser in a pokémon ball! The Internet is awash with blogs posts about Google chrome which just a few hours ago became available for download. I'm not going to just repeat whatever is in the Google chrome comic book. If you haven't seen it go do it now. I am, however, going to tell you just how happy this new browser makes me. And no, it is not the warm colors or the pokemon ball thing :) Google Chrome is just a great browser. It is very very fast, includes a slick minimalistic UI,...

    RadCalendar for ASP.NET (AJAX) localization and all the necessary to have culture independent automated tests

    First some background: Recently I’ve been working on an interesting task, which required digging into some details in RadCalendar control localization implementation. Due to a customer bug report, I tested the RadCalendar control in a non-English culture for a specific scenario. I also ran the automated tests we had built for the Calendar control and was shocked at the fact that so many tests simply failed. The reason is that these tests expected some certain Calendar element values, which generally depend on the culture you run the control on. I took the challenge to investigate, implement the necessary methods and ...

    Populating Silverlight TreeView from WCF Service with LINQ to SQL

    In this example I will show you how to populate a RadTreeView using LINQ and WCF. Also you will see how to transform a flat data into a hierarchical one. The target result is: 1. Create a new Silverlight Web Application Project NOTE: Make sure you choose "Web Application Project" After the project loads you can see that besides the regular Silverlight application, Visual Studio adds a Web application that will host the .xap file.   Before writing any LINQ or creating any WCF service, we need a database to target. 2. Right-click on RadTreeViewWithWCFWeb project and add a new item - "SQL Server Database". You can give the...

    dotNetRegister: Requirements

    Before we can begin any serious coding of the recently introduced "dotNetRegister" reference app, we need to define some some requirements. As with any good agile development effort, I want to create a backlog of features that need to be implemented and then prioritize development from there. I even intend to work on this application in sprints, though clearly, as a part time project, I don't expect to have a stellar burn-down rate. ASIDE: If any of these agile terms- like backlog, sprint, or burn-down rate- are unfamiliar to you, I highly encourage you to spend a little time becoming more...
