    Mocking MsCorlib members

    In this post , I will show how you can mock  members from MsCorlib. This is more of an introductory post and shows what you need to do in order to successfully mock an MsCorlib member. If you are planning to mock File or DateTime then the process is pretty straight forward , you just need to put a MockClassAttribute on top your test class. The process for intercepting  such is bit different as we don’t want to get your code through the particular logic for every other type and make your test slower. Therefore, we limit it to an attribute declaration to mark...

    SP1 of Telerik Reporting Q1 2011 Available; Brings Improved Performance in Silverlight and WPF

    Reading/Writing cookies with HtmlPlaceholder for Silverlight

    Recently we received a support ticket with a question whether RadHtmlPlaceholder provides support for cookies. By default, RadHtmlPlaceholder doesn't have a mechanism for reading/writing cookies. However, with the right bits of JavaScript, everything is possible :) Imagine you have an HTML page which you want to read/write cookies to and all this has to happen from Silverlight. First, you need few JavaScript methods for reading/writing cookies. Let's call the page we want to read/write cookies to CookiesPage.html. <html>     <head>         <title>Cookies Page</title>         <script type="text/javascript">             // Create a cookie with the specified name and value             function SetCookie(name, value) {                 document.cookie = name + "=" + value;                 alert("Cookie successfully set");             }             // Retrieve the value of...

    Memory Leaks and Memory Consumption in web applications (Part 3)

    This post is number three in a three part series about memory consumption for web applications. Links to Part 1 and Part 2. Memory Consumption - Best Practices To be perfectly honest there is only one issue with memory consumption, i.e. using too much of it. Size does matter. Therefore every web developer should try and minimize the impact on the usage of memory, especially when the application tends to become huge. Web applications are becoming more and more client-side oriented and staying on one and the same page for hours should not be an exception. Therefore careful creation of new objects, managing the...
