    Test-driving Windows shell scripts with Windows Scripting Host

    I was creating a small banner rotation script yesterday.  It needed to be tiny, lightweight and easy to deploy, so I chose to do it in JScript as it is available on every Windows machine.  I usually do small automation projects in Ruby, but the machine that has to run the script does not have Ruby installed.  I am a closure freak, so I went for JScript (VBScript does not have closures).The script has to select a random subfolder from the source location and copy all its files to the destination.  I don't have much experience with Windows Scripting Host's (WSH)...

    www.asp.net has a new design

    A couple of days ago the good ole www.asp.net site got a facelift. I didn't find much new stuff, but the design is very funky. I guess everyone was waiting to see something fresh and the VS 2005 official release seemed like a good time to roll out an update (the site's running .NET 2.0 so it's kind of a showcase:).I don't know whether anyone else is experiencing the same behavior, but it seems to me that the site simply hangs for a few seconds when you load a page with a lot of content (let's say the home page for the...

    Building your own VS2005-compatible NUnit distribution

    Yesterday I blogged about two specific problems with VS2005 that have been driving me nuts this week.  Now I think I found a solution to one of them: the crashes caused when running your tests from TestDriven.NET's menu. I remembered reading on the nunit-users mailing list (or was it nunit-developer?) that NUnit does not quite support .NET 2.0 at 100% yet.  People have been getting the source from the CVS repository and have been building their own versions of the library, targeted at a specific .NET 2 framework version since the betas.  I decided to try and do that myself. First I got the...

    r.a.d.controls = 13 + 5: the math behind (Part III)

    Today my meetings ended up earlier than I expected and this freed up some time to go over r.a.d.toolbar and r.a.d.combobox 2.0.r.a.d.toolbar 1.0Another great new control that we will be releasing in Q4 is r.a.d.toolbar. Unlike r.a.d.calendar it’s more or less feature-complete and will not undergo much evolution. r.a.d.toolbar will be by far the richest toolbar control for ASP.NET. Integrated with r.a.d.dock it will give you the versatility of the winforms toolbar with all the cool options such as re-ordering, floating toolbars, pinned toolbars, keyboard shortcuts, flexible databinding and a whole lot more. r.a.d.combobox 2.0In the last few months we received very...

    r.a.d.controls = 13 + 5: the math behind (Part II)

    In my first post on r.a.d.controls Q4 (http://blogs.telerik.com/vassilterziev/posts/05-10-09/r_a_d_controls_13_5_the_math_behind_Part_I.aspx) I made an overview of r.a.d.grid 3.0. Today it’s time to share some information about r.a.d.combobox 2.0, r.a.d.toolbar and the long-awaited r.a.d.calendar. In the course of the previous week I’ve had a chance to review the work in progress and I am very happy with what our dev and design teams have done - all products are both high-performance and very visually appealing. The latter is pretty important as our products, in terms of capabilities, are way ahead of documentation and examples and customers do have a problem to see all their beauty and...
