codeproject.com — Patterns for test method-stub generation to improve unit test effectiveness... ...one of the goals is a tool suite that can be used to automatically generate unit tests, both as a reverse and forward engineering process. With the latter, it should be possible to generate the method stubs for the code under test. read more...

TDD or POUT

published 9 months ago, submitted by powerrush 9 months, 1 day ago

theruntime.com — Because Unit Testing is the plain-Jane progenitor of Test Driven Development, it's kind of unfair that it doesn't have an acronym of its own. After all, it's hard to get programmer types to pay attention if they don't have some obscure jargon to bandy about. UT is too awkward, besides being a state abbreviation in the U.S., so for this post (and, if it catches on, future posts as well) I'll borrow from the telco folks and call unit testing Plain Old Unit Testing. read more...

Creating a transparent Panel in .NET

saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de — Today I wanted to create a transparent Panel-Control in .NET in order to superimpose it on the WebBrowser Control in order to record click events. The goal was to code a simple macro recorder for websites. Unfortunatelly the .NET framework does not allow (in an easy way) to make a control fully transparent. So it was back to the good ol' winuser.h and the extended window styles. Namely 0x00000020L or as it is better known WS_EX_TRANSPARENT. read more...

Expression Tree Basics

blogs.msdn.com — Newcomers to LINQ often find expression trees difficult to grasp. In this post I hope to show that the subject is not quite as difficult as it might appear at first. Any reader who has an intermediate level understanding of LINQ should find the material in this post easy to grasp. An expression tree provides a method of translating executable code into data. This can be very valuable if you want to modify or transform code before executing it. In particular, it can be useful if you want to transform C# code such as a LINQ query expression into code that operates on another process, such as a SQL database. But I'm getting ahead of myself. By the end of this post you will find it easy to understand why it is helpful to translate code into data. First I need to provide a little background. Let's start by seeing the relatively simple syntax for creating an expression tree. read more...
