Fridathon: unstructured learning or hacking you can opt-in to do on any random Friday.

• Mocking protected members with Moq

  Posted on July 5, 2008

  If you’re familiar with Moq, you know that it relies on lambda expressions heavily. This is very good as you get full support from intellisense and refactoring features in Visual Studio. However, it also means you’re for the most part restricted to setting expectations on things that your code has access too (public or internal members). [Read More]

• Do you really care about Stub vs Mock?

  Posted on July 5, 2008

  I’ve argued in the past that this theoretical discussion is utterly useless. In my experience you need slightly different things from your test doubles at different times and depending on the scenarios and what you care about testing in a particular test. [Read More]

• Moq 2.5 shipped: lots of good news!

  Posted on July 4, 2008

  Today we shipped Moq v2.5. It’s been a while since RC1 (a month or so feels so long for an open source agile project!) and we god very good feedback and suggestions for the final release. I’m pretty happy with the current drop and felt it was time for a new stable release. [Read More]

• Mesh synchronization of KML files through FeedSync

  Posted on May 28, 2008

  We’ve been working for the past few days on a mesh4x adapter that can synchronize a potentially big KML file at a very granular level (styles, placemarks, folders, etc.) so that you can collaboratively edit these large files without having to resolve spurious “conflicts”. [Read More]

• A practical example on how to mock static classes without TypeMock

  Posted on May 18, 2008

  WCF is the second biggest framework after ASP.NET that sooner or later forces you to use a static “context” property to do anything beyond the trivial stuff. ASP.NET has the HttpContext.Current, whereas WCF has the WebOperationContext.Current for example. [Read More]

• Live Mesh FeedSync: an overview of the protocol under the hood

  Posted on April 29, 2008

  I already mentioned why I think Live Mesh is cool and that I think the most important part of it, FeedSync, is being largely ignored by reviewers. Fortunately, there’s an extensive interview with the team that goes quite deep in FeedSync and how it works. Go watch it, it’s good info. [Read More]

• Live Mesh Everywhere: open source and cross-platform

  Posted on April 24, 2008

  You have probably read or listened all the (maybe a bit vague) information about the Mesh Operating Environment (MOE): a platform that will allow multiple applications and devices to participate in the Live Mesh. [Read More]
