    Integrating with TeamPulse data (oData)

    Note: A Knowledge Base article exists with a link to the sample code used in this post. Note: A previous blog post was written with some basic information regarding TeamPulse integration. The 2011 R3 release of TeamPulse has brought several significant changes to the product, and chief among them from an integration standpoint are the inclusion of forms-based authentication and role-based permissions. These changes extend beyond the TeamPulse client interface right through the services below, which means that any requests to read or write data must be accompanied by a proper authentication cookie representing a user that has the required ...

    New Series on Telerik TV: “That’s Neat!”

    I’ve just started my new series “That’s Neat” to Telerik TV. My goal with each video in the series is to show you one feature of Test Studio that I find helpful, interesting, or, well, neat. The videos will all be two to five minutes long, and I plan to record them while I’m on my various travels around to conferences, user groups, customers, or whatever. The first video is on using the just-released feature for capturing elements with friendly names during recording. I hope you enjoy the series! About the author Jim Holmes Jim Holmes has around 25 years ...

    Filtering Collection Properties with RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF

    By default, RadGridView will not be able to filter properties which are IEnumerable. However, with two of its features you can easily add this custom functionality. The first feature you need to use are the Custom Filtering Controls which I have explained in one of my earlier blog posts so I will not go into detail here. The focus of this blog is how to implement the IFilterDescriptor interface so that our data engine can filter your enumerable property. This interface allows you to provide a filtering expression. This expression will be used when the data engine performs the actual filtering. In the...

    New Sample Application for ASP.NET AJAX - Telerik Store

    As a follow up to the webinar hosted by our colleague Carl Bergenhem "Build an E-Commerce ASP.NET AJAX Application", we decided to pick up from where he left the example and extend it to a fully working application incorporating RadControls and the EBay's OData feed. We loved the idea of a MetroUI based layout and introduced the new Metro Skin for RadControls, which fit the initial design with almost no customizations.

    How to Promote your Windows Phone App on a Shoestring

    Couple of weeks ago, while writing a blog post about some free advertising we were giving away together with AdDuplex,  I realized, as obvious as it sounds, that monetizing from a Windows Phone app actually requires two very different set of skills: development and marketing skills. It’s one thing to build a nice app and another to successfully promote it.  And it is rare, correct me if I’m wrong, that one person is good at both. And chances are that you do not have an advertising budget. So what do you do? The truth is that there are a bunch...

    Future mocking with #IgnoreInstance

    In my previous post, i showed how JustMock picks mock expectations based on current context without the instance being injected. Based on feedback we found that It’s sometimes confusing and often does not work as intended. However, the context of this post is not to introduce future mocking rather a new feature that allows you to skip mock instance intentionally (when you can’t pass the dependency through a constructor or via method argument) instead the tool is applying it for you on behalf. You can find more on future mocking and some abstract behind it from my previous post: http://weblogs.asp.net/mehfuzh/archive/2011/09/30/future-mocking-revisited.aspx Now moving forward, i...
