    JustCode – Color Identifiers in Depth

    Last time we looked at the basics of JustCode color identifiers. In this blog I will go a bit more in-depth about each of the available markers. There are quite a few, and we will be adding more as we mature JustCode.    What Do All of Those Markers DO? There are many markers listed in the “Display Item” list view, and you might not immediately know what some of these affect in the UI. That is why I have come up with this “cheat sheet” explaining each setting. Note: This code snippet contains at least one of every item JustCode colorizes. I turned off...

    RadGridView for WinForms vNEXT is coming

    The new version of RadGridView is coming in May (as beta) and I am eager to show you some of the new features. There are many methods to indicate errors in RadGridView. However, until now it didn’t support the most natural and easy way for this - the IDataErrorInfo interface. Things have changed, so let me show you how to use this interface.   As MSDN says,“IDataErrorInfo provides the functionality to offer custom error information that a user interface can bind to.” Actually, you don't need to know anything about this interface. You can just set the ErrorText property of the desired row or cell: this.radGridView1.Rows[5].ErrorText = "There...

    Test List Management in WebUI Test Studio 2010 QA Edition

    The new standalone WebUI Test Studio 2010 (its official launch was announced in my previous post) includes a couple of built from scratch modules which we’ll describe in this blog. I’ll start with the important features of the Test Lists in the QA Edition. Record and execute a single test Recording and execution of a single test case is pretty straight forward thanks to a cool hint on the startup screen:   With the QA edition you can quickly create a new project, add a test in the project and launch the recorder for your first test. You can ...

    JustCode – Color Identifier Basics

    Color identifiers make it easier for developers to quickly read and understand the code on screen.  One of the many features provided by JustCode is the ability to colorize additional items that Visual Studio does not allow you to colorize by default.  The colorization of items such as methods, properties, events, variables, and method parameters can easily be tweaked to your specific needs. Enable / Disable Color Identifiers In the recent release, we turned this option on by default.  You can enable/disable code colorization by going to the JustCode menu in Visual Studio, selecting options, then selecting the general section in...

    Working with multiple interfaces on a single mock.

    Today , I will cover a very simple topic, which can be useful in cases we want to mock different interfaces on our expected mock object.  Our target interface is simple and it looks like:   public interface IFoo : IDisposable {     void Do(); } Our target interface has an IDisposable implemented. Now, generally if we implement it in a class , we have to implement the whole of it [which is quite logical] and that should not wait for any extra calls or constructs. Considering that, when we are creating our target mock it should also implement all the dependent interfaces for us as well.   Therefore,  as we are creating...

    Validating Your Domain Model

    With the Q1 Release of the Telerik OpenAccess ORM we introduced the new Visual Designer for OpenAccess. In a nutshell it’s a drag-and-drop editor that visualizes the mapped classes and their relationships. It is a great improvement and people are often stunned by it. One of the coolest features that it presents though is often overlooked. OpenAccess gives you the possibility of validating your model. Note that this is extremely helpful due to the fact that you are able to build your solution with an invalid model and then get errors in the runtime. On top of that it also suggests...

    Great Indian Developer Summit Wrap-Up

    Last week I spoke at the Great Indian Developer Summit in Bengaluru, India. This was my second year speaking at GIDS, so it was great to be back. Before the event Telerik’s Team Fantastic Four set up the booth and then hit McDonalds for a Maharaja Mac. Remember India does not eat beef, so we HAD to go to McDonalds and check it out! Imagine a McDonalds without a hamburger. Totally awesome. (Though we all preferred the McAloo, a potato patty sandwich.) The event is really 4 conferences in 4 days. One day each on: .NET, Web, Java, and Seminars. On the Day 1 (.NET) I spoke on: Building Data...

    Looking at the Telerik OpenAccess ORM Visual Designer Toolbox

    The Telerik OpenAccess ORM Visual Designer provides toolbox items that one can use to update and fine tune the persistence model and how the entity classes will behave. Inheritance - like other objects, the mapped entity classes can be used in inheritance scenarios and can be derived from other classes. The Telerik OpenAccess ORM provides the power of inheritance to the data access layer. Classes in an inheritance hierarchy can be mapped to the same table (flat mapping) or to different tables (vertical mapping and horizontal mapping), or a combination of two strategies (mixed flat and vertical). The Telerik OpenAccess ORM Visual...
