Mocking the File System to Improve Testability (with JustMock)
Many applications require access to the file system to create, modify or delete files and folders. But how do you make sure that such application behaves correctly? You do it with tests of course but there is a catch: In general it is not a good idea to have tests that are performing Input/Output operations like accessing files and databases. When you need to test I/O operations mock objects are your friend. And before I go into more details let me point out some of the benefits of mocking. Usually faster than performing I/O operations You do not have have to deal... -

Blazing-fast list control. Meet RadListControl for WinForms
We are happy to announce that for Q2 2010 we will be introducing a few new controls . Two of those are actually implementations of quite old controls. I am talking about RadListControl (the new list box) and RadDropDownList (the new combo box). The main purpose in the lives of those two guys is to replace the current RadListBox and RadComboBox and to address their current shortcomings without breaking any existing applications. The new controls will coexist with the old ones and they will be faster… a lot faster, and more flexible in terms of extending and/or replacing functionality as... -

Adding custom interfaces to your mock instance.
Previously, i made a post showing how you can leverage the dependent interfaces that is implemented by JustMock during the creation of mock instance. It could be a informative post that let you understand how JustMock behaves internally for classes or interfaces implement other interfaces into it. But the question remains, how you can add your own custom interface to your target mock. In this post, i am going to show you just that. Today, i will not start with a dummy class as usual rather i will use two most common interfaces in the .NET framework and create a mock...June 09, 2010 2 min read -

How Do You See Something Which Is Transparent?
This was the question which has been bugging some of the Telerik’s creative minds while working on our newest theme for WPF and Silverlight controls. We wanted it be unique and cool and yet fit serious business cases. We wanted you to have fun and get things done at the same time. We wanted it to blend with your design right from the moment you choose to use it. Instead of hitting you with a wall of text – let me just show it to you … Ladies and Gentlemen – the Transparent Theme in action. The theme will be part... -

From TechEd Expo Floor – Day 1 Recap & let’s connect
Over the next few days we will be at TechEd New Orleans and we will be posting a few blog posts to recap highlights of our day. TechEd begun with keynote by Bob Muglia. I am sure you’ve read the news all over the net, so I will spare you many details. The big theme wasn’t a surprise – the cloud and Windows Phone 7 and changes these will bring to developers. While Azure is a major shift in how companies will look at IT, Windows Mobile 7 development is expected to be ‘hassle free’ – developers will be able... -

A Binding Navigator in the XAML world
Remember the good old Binding Navigator of the glorious WinForms past? (If you don’t, this will refresh your memory) Last week a client asked or a Binding Navigator control in WPF. Now, this is somewhat out of place in WPF and Silverlight where the data binding mechanism is completely different, but if you are porting an old Windows Forms application and would wish to preserve the general user experience, such a control would be invaluable. This small control behaves much like the old Binding Navigator, while being fully MVVM-enabled through commands. You bind the control to your collection of items, then access... -

RadPageView – next generation WinForms navigation control
As the new Q2 2010 release is approaching, we wanted to share some more information about our brand new control RadPageView, meant to supersede existing RadTabStrip and RadPanelBar. “Why yet another tab-strip?” someone would ask. Several are the major reasons that made us create this new control, namely: Extensibility, scalability and ease of use. With the new semantic that lies behind RadPageView, it is very easy to create custom views over a collection of pages. Well thought light element tree, which reduces both memory footprint and User Interaction response time and allows for easy and intuitive styling. Myriad of new features in... -

Manage all Resources and Appointments data for RadScheduler for Silverlight using RIA Services.
This blog post could be helpful for those who seek a way to store and retrieve all appointments information like Resources, TimeMarkers, Categories. It also provides a handy way to handle recurrence exceptions without any additional code. 1. Database design (This step can be avoided if a DataModel is initially created and then a database is generated from it). The key points that need to be taken into consideration when planning the database are: Where to save appointments Where to save recurrent appointments’ exceptions Where to save resources and how to relate them with appointments Here is the database schema used in... -
