[System.Web.Services.WebMethod] public static Telerik.Web.UI.GridBindingData GetData(int startRowIndex, int maximumRows, string sortExpression, string filterExpression) { ... -

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...May 05, 2025 2 min read -

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 ...May 27, 2021 3 min read -
