    For those of us who were not lucky enough to go to the PDC this week, Microsoft published all the video recordings online at the Channel9 website.

    Chameleon skinning coming up to WinForms in Q3 2008

    I know many of you like our WinForms "Desert" theme:     I like it very much too. But I've been using it for quite some time and it started to kind of bore me. I just wish it wasn't so orange-ish. Then I got impressed by the UI of Windows Live's set of desktop applications, which have the cool option to change the skin color - on the fly:       Its very neat and I just can't get bored using this kind of UI. Our Windows Form components on the other hand have a very extensible way of skinning, but still, you are...

    UI Automation Testing with UIA Verify

    As I mentioned in my previous post “UI Automation/Accessibility in Silverlight 2, tools and resources summary”, UIA Verify is one of the current options for UI Automation testing of controls and applications. The tool was published by the Microsoft UI Automation team about 7 months ago and according to the release page, it was downloaded about thousand of times so far. Still, I didn’t find any public articles regarding its advantages not because the tool is useless, quite the opposite! So I decided to describe the tool’s features briefly and I hope you’ll enjoy the tutorial. First of ...

    Styling Telerik Controls

    I thought it might be interesting to do a quick rundown of the Visual Style Builder.  This tool comes with your Telerik WinForms control suite and provides a quick and easy way to change the look of a control.  The Visual Style Builder is located under the Telerik directory in your Start menu. It allows you to modify a variety of settings for a given control to build your own themes.  For example, if you select the RadButton control under the File | LoadControl menu, you will see it displayed center screen.  As you move your mouse cursor over the control...
