Users who are just getting started with Fiddler are often confused about the appearance of HTTP/304 responses in Fiddler’s Web Sessions list as webpages are loaded... A web server sends a HTTP/304 in response to a Conditional Validation request, indicating that the client’s copy of a resource is still valid and that the resource in question was Not Modified since the client cached its copy -

Creating A Great Windows 8 Tile With XAML RadControls for Windows 8
Our new RadControls for Windows 8 offers a number of controls to make your application look and perform better. One of the key features is the new set of HubTiles. These are easy to work with, and greatly simplify the job of creating a terrific tile for your application. Remember, Microsoft’s advice is “Invest in a Great Tile.” Now that’s easy to do. To see how to create great tiles, we’ll create a small application that hosts two tiles: one an image with “peek” text that appears halfway and then all the way over the image, and the second a flipping... -

JustCode Q3 Typing Assistance Improvements
We designed the typing assistance feature of JustCode to increase your productivity by saving you keystrokes without getting in your way. In this release, we enhanced this feature, making it faster and better than ever. Brace positioning When you press enter between opening and closing brace, JustCode positions the braces correctly and inserts an empty line so you can begin typing immediately. Previously, JustCode used the formatting feature to position braces correctly, and this was sometimes slow. The brace positioning no longer relies on the formatter, and the result is extremely fast. Wrap statement in braces When you add an open brace at the beginning of... -

Browser Zoom - Why Does It Break Your Page And How To Avoid It
The current situation The major browsers offer the option to zoom the entire page rather than just increase the font size. This is an important accessibility feature, which is often used not only by people with vision impairments, but also by users that, for different reasons, need to see the page smaller or larger. Usually we zoom to increase the font size but, since the browser zooms the entire page, visual glitches could appear when the layout is based on background images and/or sprites. It will not ruin the page accessibility but will leave a feeling that the UI is not structured very well. And we don’t want... -

More on Flexible Locators
Knowing how to create flexible locators is critical to crafting stable tests that will hold up in the long run. The example I use in Telerik’s Online Instructor Led and Team training sessions centers around working with a row from a table. This table, to be precise! Note the grid control has created an ID value for that row – and that ID is completely position-based: ctl00_MainContent_PeopleGrid_ctl00__1. (Look at the row above and below. The IDs all end with “__<number>”.) By default, Test Studio’s recorder will define this row’s locator using that ID value. Normally IDs are ...May 27, 2021 4 min read -

What’s new in Fiddler 2.4.1.1
I’ve been working on several exciting enhancements since I moved to develop Fiddler full-time last month.
