MbUnit 3 and Gallio Support for JustCode
The unit test runner in Telerik JustCode has supported five different unit testing frameworks: MSTest, xUnit, NUnit 2.5, MSPec, and MbUnit 2.4. MbUnit 3 is significantly different than prior iterations by having a different underlying engine: the Gallio Test Automation Platform. The newly released service pack for JustCode supports this framework, allowing you to take advantage of its many features. You can get started with MbUnit 3 with the assemblies provided by JustCode or downloading and installing the latest Gallio package. Afterwards, create a class library and add references to the Gallio and MbUnit assemblies. These can be found in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Telerik\JustCode\Libraries\Extensions or the GAC... -

Telerik OpenAccess ORM – What’s new in the latest internal build
On 12.09.2011 we released the so anticipated OpenAccess ORM internal build 2011.02.0908 that contained a few very important improvements and fixes for our customers: - Support for SQL Azure 11.x.

Some details for this update can be found in Richard Mitchell’s blog post as well as how it can affect third party tools in the MSDN Blogs. With the internal build we have introduced support for the latest version of SQL Azure,... -

How to Pick Your Platform: Silverlight, Metro, or HTML5
While Windows 8 is ushering in an exciting new model for Windows development called "Metro style apps" that run a new "unified" Windows Runtime (WinRT), it's not necessarily the right choice for all new Windows software development. In fact, there are a lot scenarios where it's not a good choice. In this over-simplified decision tree, I try to provide some crude logic for how to pick between your platform options. Clearly, there are many nuances not covered in this tree, but I'll work on expanding the "logic" to make it more bullet proof in the coming weeks. The first decision is the most important, though: Do you need to continue... -

A bad picture is worth a thousand long discussions.
A blog by Doug Seven, Executive Vice President at Telerik. (Original post here) While here at Build I’ve been in lots of conversations with customers, other attendees, Microsoft MVP’s, Microsoft Regional Directors, and Microsoft engineering team members. One of the recurring topics that I’ve been talking about ad nausium is the “boxology” diagram of the Windows 8 Platform and Tools (shown here). Now let me tell you, I have drawn a lot of these “marketecture” diagrams in my time and its not easy. These kind of diagrams are never technically accurate. There is simply no easily digestible way to make a technically accurate diagram for a complex system...May 27, 2021 5 min read -

Why Microsoft Needs a Metro-Only Edition of Windows 8
The Microsoft developer ecosystem has been alive with buzz about Windows 8 all week at the Build conference. What everyone is talking about is the new Metro user experience and interface and the new WinRT API that supports it. I was one of the lucky ones who got a ticket to Build before it sold out and received the developer prototype hardware tablet running the early preview of Windows 8 (I’ve never had prototype hardware before!) After playing with it for a few days, I can say that while the app store is not open yet and it is obvious that the software is pre-alpha (there is no Metro mail client for...
