Lightspeed 3 : Testing Enhancements - Paul Mason

published 1250 days, 17 hours, 22 minutes ago posted by tivittivit 1251 days, 4 hours, 14 minutes ago
Thursday, December 17, 2009 10:26:45 AM GMT Wednesday, December 16, 2009 11:34:06 PM GMT
In this post I'm going for a bit of a diversion from the usual Protecting Your Precious Code series; and for good reason! The long awaited version 3 of the Lightspeed tool was released on Monday. Rather than go into all of the new features that it boasts (which can be found on the Mindscape blog), I'm going to take a look at a particular aspect that excites me: improved testability of entities!

This blog post demonstrates how Silvelight 3’s WriteableBitmap can be used to create a UserControl that renders the content of any other Framework Element as a reflection with an animated ripple effect I was sad to hear the news earlier this year that Yahoo! was pulling the plug on GeoCities. Somewhere buried deep within GeoCities is the first web page I ever created, complete with “Under Construction” banner, animated GIFs, guestbooks, and nasty background music. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the ... (more)

There are lots of reason you may need to customize the access to given fields within an entity.  For example, HIPPA compliance requires that some data not be exposed to only employees with a need to know.   It is often not sufficient to just NOT show the data in the Silverlight client, you need to not even send it over the wire.This example works with Silverlight 4\RIA Services Beta and Visual Studio 2010 Beta2 I built a very simple RIA Services + Silverlight 4 ...

Last week, I gave an introduction to INavigationContentLoader, a Silverlight 4 Beta SDK extensibility point that allows you to load arbitrary content in conjunction with the Silverlight navigation feature, and walked you through building a Typename-based content loader.  That’s all well and good, but it’s an awful lot of work to go to in order to build a simple INavigationContentLoader (following the async pattern, fully implementing the interface, etc.).  Sometimes, all you really want to do is handle a...

This part of of the series explaining how BugCamSmash was made is truly the quiet before the storm.  The tipping point before the big finale.  In part 1, we created a bug we could smash with a rock.  In part 2, we gave the bug the ability to crawl towards a location specified by a mouse click (to be then smashed with a rock). In this part, we will cover giving the bugs their own will to move and making sure they are not too coordinated in their movements.Giving the Bugs some direction Now that the bugs ... (more)

There are multiple ways to associate a View to its Model - for example, using a ViewModelLocator, or perhaps a convention-based approach I am thinking of implementing.

After I wrote the post about the use of T4 templates in EF4, I played with them for a while (not in EF but generally with T4 templates). In an old project that I’ve created almost 3 years ago which automated the use of lookup tables I had an enum. That enum was meant to be the connection between an Xml node names and was heavily used in the application. (more)

In ASP.NET you often require the ID of a row that you have inserted into a SQL database, either to display the record, or to use the ID to modify data in linked tables. If you are using an SqlDataSource or ObjectDataSource then you can do this with the ReturnValue method. (more)

Implementing 'Inheritance' in XML - Eric White

Tuesday, December 15, 2009 11:41:59 AM GMT Sunday, December 13, 2009 1:33:29 PM GMT
Some XML vocabularies implement a powerful XML pattern that is analogous to inheritance in programming language type systems. Open XML WordprocessingML has these semantics around styles. When you define a new style, you can base this style on another style, and if the new style doesn't explicitly define some aspect of the style, the new style 'inherits' this aspect from its base style. This post presents some code that uses one approach for implementing inheritance semantics. (more)
