Getting Started with NUnit, NUnit.Should, and JustMock
Technorati Tags: TDD,Test Driven Development,JustMock,JustCode,NUnit,NUnit.Should,Mocking Before diving into mocking with JustMock, it’s important to note that JustMock is a mocking framework, and not a testing framework. Test frameworks allow for creating Test Fixtures, which are .NET classes decorated with the appropriate attributes so they are picked up by a Test Runner. Test are created within a Test Fixture by writing methods (with the appropriate attributes) that exercise your code (also referred to as the System Under Test) and report the results. Test Runners are programs that will run your tests. There are many free testing frameworks available for .NET developers, including MSTest (included... -

Telerik OpenAccess ORM - Database Naming Settings
We, the OpenAccess ORM team, believe that an ORM solution should not only be easy to use and time-saving, but also flexible enough to reflect your needs. For instance, it is important that the names we generate comply exactly with your conventions, rather than being enforced. For that purpose we have provided the Naming Settings dialog a while ago, offering various naming options for the model on Class, Property and Field level. Now we are proud to present the new flexibility we have exposed for generating the names of the tables and columns in your database - the Database Names... -

Editing a Verification for an IF Conditional
Test Studio’s IF Conditional steps are extraordinarily handy feature which enable you to handle branching in your tests based on specific conditions. There are a number of scenarios where this can ensure your tests are a bit more robust—logging in to your system if needed is one example. (Note: There are also many situations where I recommend against using conditionals. Don’t use them to conflate separate test cases. Keep your test cases simple, specific, and granular!) Here’s a tip I just learned today: Editing an IF conditional’s verification. This is nice feature because it allows you to update your conditional ...May 27, 2021 1 min read -

Using The AutoComplete With PHP
One of my absolute favorite features about Google search is the auto suggesting that it does as I type in the search box. It’s a really nice feature. I liked it so much, I wrote a plugin for Kendo UI that ties into the Google... -

Windows 8–Toast Notification
Continuing my series based on the presentations I’m giving in Europe, today I turn to toast notifications. As with Tiles, Toast notifications are a great way to let the user know that something interesting is happening with your application. Toast notifications can be very complex but their essence can be stripped down to just a few lines of code, especially thanks to the NotificationsExtensions library available from Microsoft. Create a new application, add the NotificationsExtension library and add a reference to the NotificationsExtension library to the main project. In MainPage.xaml we’ll add a single button to launch the toast, 1: <Grid Background="{StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}"> ... -

How to Build a Picture Gallery app for Windows Phone - Part 3
In this last part of the Picture Gallery blog series, we will discuss how the app handles errors and how RadControls for Windows Phone improved the development experience. In case you missed the previous two posts, they can be found here and here. Handling exceptions No application is complete without proper error handling. To be robust the application should handle the expected exceptions in a meaningful way or crash noisily when an unexpected error occurs. In the Picture Gallery app there are a few situations that should be expected. The first and most important condition that we need to verify on app startup is whether... -

Migration to Telerik OpenAccess ORM is Now Easier Than Ever
Have you reached a point in your application where you want to rewrite some portion of the code, change a public API or even switch to one of the third party components that are widely used today? It's very likely that you've bumped into this wall like most of the developers out there and you know that usually a comprehensive evaluation of the pros and cons of the switch is required to ensure the same improvement can't be achieved with some small tweaks in the existing solution. Either way, you might end up fighting with strange issues and spending tons of time...
