    XAMLflix Introduces RadPropertyGrid

    Hello everyone and welcome back to XAMLflix with RadPropertyGrid for Silverlight and WPF. I hope you have been enjoying the series as last week we took a look at RadDragAndDrop and RadMaskedInput. What is XAMLflix you might ask?

    Another Awesome VS11 Feature - WAI-ARIA Support

    Taking a Step Back – What is Accessibility? Accessibility is always  a large concern when creating applications. Whether these are meant for the web, desktop machines, or even mobile devices, accessibility is a huge factor. I have often run into scenarios where developers are not even aware of accessibility concerns, or decide to leave it as one of those “oh, I’ll get to it later” tasks on their TODO list. Some of you might even be asking yourself what accessibility actually is. Well, when I talk about accessibility I’m referring to the ability for your application to function for people with...

    What does a good test case look like?

    A good test case is neither too small nor too big. A good test case stands alone, sets up pre-test conditions, exercises the application under test (AUT), verifies one thing, reports the results of the verification, then if applicable, cleans up (usually data) and reports the overall test case result; pass or fail.

    Extending Telerik Reporting Service with Custom IReportResolver

This includes a single Report or ReportBook. The IReportDocument returned by the report resolver will be further handled by the ReportProcessor. The service...
