In any case, every program that implements a search contract... -

The "Remove Script File" Button
This one is kind of advanced. You can add a coded step to your test (or convert an existing step to code). When you do that - a so-called "code-behind file" is generated. The file in question is simply a C#/VB class file that has the exact same name as your test: You can open and edit the entire class file from Standalone by using the View Class button: And you'll be able to do anything you would expect from a class file - define custom functions, add assembly references, define global variables etc. In fact, all your coded ...September 11, 2012 2 min read -

5 Things You Should Know About Refactoring in C#
There are many misconceptions among developers and development managers about refactoring. Perhaps a consultant used refactoring as an excuse to spend needless cycles reading blogs, or maybe a “refactoring” was blamed for a large swath of bugs found in a release. Regardless of the source, there are development shops that cower in fear or scream in terror when the word “refactoring” is uttered aloud. The problem is they were frightened by something other than refactoring. I hang out with developers around the globe at conferences, user groups, and sometimes just to grab a bite to eat. I enjoy discussing code and long... -
