    Use Visual Event To Explore JavaScript Events In Your Application

    Visual Event is a little tool I found. When I say that I "found" it - I literal discovered it after Google-ing "detect javascript events" or something to that effect. Neither Telerik nor I personally have any affiliation with the Visual Event product or its makers. Anyway the tool will help you determine what javascript events are associated with a particular control. Javascript events are a crucial part of UI automation. Good understanding of how and when they are employed in your app can save you a lot of trouble. 90% of the time switching your step to ...

    Fixing Visual Studio 2012 Intellisense for WinJS Files

    I have been frustrated by Intellisense acting up when working on WinJS Windows Store applications.  Figure 1 is just an example of the quirky behavior that I’ve been experiencing: Image 1 Fortunately, the fix is extremely easy, and I picked it up from Adam Freeman’s book on Apress “Metro Revealed: Building Windows 8 apps with HTML5 and Javascript” Add references in your JavaScript files to ui.js and base.js.  You can do this by dragging the files from your solution explorer.  They are located by expanding Windows Library for JavaScript 1.0, and then the “js”  folder.  Make sure you include the triple swack at...

    JustCode Code Style Settings for C#, Part 1

    In our previous blog posts on the JustCode Formatter, we’ve showed you what it is and how it works. If you haven’t read those yet, please see our post on "Introducing the Formatter" and "Comparing the JustCode Formatter to the Visual Studio Formatter". One of our design goals was to make sure the Formatter is much more customizable than Visual Studio’s, and in this post, we will show you how easy it is to customize it. What are the Code Style settings? When you utilize JustCode’s refactorings, expand code templates, format and/or clean your code, or make other changes to your code, JustCode...

    Better Repro Playback with Fiddler

    One of Fiddler’s most-useful but least-used features is its ability to playback previously-captured web-traffic to debug website issues reported by customers “in the field.” In today’s post, I’ll explain the recent Fiddler improvements supporting this scenario.

    Interacting with the RadDatePicker and RadTimePicker for Windows 8

    Introduction My good friend Michael Crump showed how to create an Appointment Tracking app with the RadDatePicker and RadTimePicker in this excellent post. I’m going to start where Michael left off, adding additional business rules and logic by interacting with controls. If you haven’t read his post, you can download the project from here. I will start from this project to add in the additional functionality. Design Goals Imagine that the business has approached the development team and is complaining that users are selecting departure dates that are prior to the arrival date, and there is a desire to make the scheduler more “user...

    Startup Weekend in Hong Kong

    This past weekend was the 3rd Startup Weekend in Hong Kong and I was lucky enough to return again as a judge. This year it was huge with 14 teams competing!   As usual, I was very impressed by the ideas, hard work, and execution. They stared on Friday night with lots of pitches and team formation. The group worked all day Saturday and Sunday at the CoCoon co-working space in Hong Kong (the same co-work space AcceleratorHK is using). A few AcceleratorHK cohort members as well as program director Paul Orlando were helping out as mentors. On Sunday night we all gathered to a different venue where we heard all of...
