    Windows Phone 8 – Dynamic AppBars for Conference Buddy

    This part of the application has four “screens” or PivotItems of data. If we take a look at the application bar (in green at the bottom), then we will quickly notice the following: Contact Details – Contains a cancel and next button. Interest – Contains a previous, cancel and next button. Subscriptions – Contains the same thing as interest. Request Follow Up – Contains previous, cancel, save and close and save and add new. We will quickly see that our standard application bar will not work and that we will need to dynamically load a new application bar as the user swipes to the next page.

    Extending the functionality of RadControls with Attached Properties

    Every developer has found him or herself in the situation where a control is missing the one feature that would be perfect in a specific situation or they would love to have a slightly different behavior of an existing feature. This is where attached properties come in handy. Attached properties could be used to extend the functionality of a control with very little implementation on our side. In this blog post I will demonstrate how to implement some basic attached properties in specific scenarios to extend the functionality of a WPF / Silverlight control.

    Manipulating Traffic with Fiddler Extensions

    A key advantage Fiddler has over a traditional packet sniffer or in-browser network monitor is the ability to modify the traffic. This can be done manually (using breakpoints and Inspectors) or automatically, using FiddlerScript or extensions. In today’s post, I’d like to introduce one such extension—ContentBlock

    Demystifying unexpected redirects to login page in ASP.NET

    Have you often configured the authorization settings of your website to specify areas with special access rules? One of the common scenarios is to create a website that should be available only to authenticated users.

    Consuming Services - Cleanly Rendering Returned Data into Your App

    After my last blog post a friend asked for advice on how to render the data that's returned to his app in a clean, simple way. Immediately, two simple ways to accomplish this came to my mind. One using string concatenating and one using a hidden block of HTML as a template.

    Asserting Behavior with JustMock

    JustMock is a great tool for abstracting dependencies in unit tests, and the new automocking feature makes it even faster to develop unit tests.  Another great feature in JustMock and JustMock Lite is the capability to assert the behavior of your system under test.  Traditional TDD (Test Driven Testing) unit testing typically tests for state.  Did the user get logged in? Did the user’s shopping cart get loaded?  Important tests, of course.  But that only tests the end result of the method.  If the user does NOT successfully login, and the cart is not reloaded, is that because the call to the repository was never called? Or because some error happened that didn’t reload the cart in this particular use case?  The state of the application is correct, but is that because it executed the expected behavior, or because we got lucky?
