You’ve talked and we’ve listened: as of Beta 2 release of RadControls for Windows Phone 7 the RadTimePicker and RadDatePicker controls support null-value. In other words, you will be able to set the current value to null and display a custom message to your users informing them that there is no value selected in the control at the time: this.radTimePicker1.Value = null; this.radTimePicker1.EmptyContent = "Select time"; There are also two additional properties which are used in this context: EmptyContent – defining the content that will be displayed to the user when there is no value selected in the control EmptyContentTemplate – defining how the empty content will...

Q1'11will definitely be huge to RadControls for WinForms! First, it will be the first 3rd party component suite to offer Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) and Coded UI test support, which by itself is huge enough.

As a QA professional, it’s important to get involved with the development team early on in the process. This article will discuss just one of the many benefits in doing so – coding standards and the use of ID’s for enhanced team productivity. Require this up front and you can significantly cut back test case maintenance. No matter what software you use for your test automation, the method in which elements are identified plays a critical role. Small changes to your application can often break the test’s ‘find logic’ causing your test runs to fail. Let’s say a couple elements ...
“Our team is agile because we stand up for meetings!” It’s the perennial joke of the agile community. We’ve all heard of teams that feel that they are doing agile development because they stand up for their meetings. (I sincerely hope that it is more urban legend than truth.) The reality is that there is more to agile than stand up meetings and there is more to stand up meetings than simply standing.

Just the Facts, Ma’am

The Q1 2011 version of the Chart control will include code to support empty/null values. There are many scenarios, in which the property of an object, or a collection of objects, to which the Chart is data bound, is null. The following code example demonstrates one such case: The null values above are hard-coded, however they convey the general idea of null values being returned by the data layer, to which the Chart is data bound. Internally, there are three ways in which these null values can be handled. This is specified by a property in the control, for the series...
