Tweet Windows 8 Metro App has couple of wonderful ways to display data, the more common way is Grid and Split Application Template. (You can read more about Windows 8 Project Templates - Windows 8 JavaScript Metro Application–Getting Started ). But there are several other ways to display information, in this post I’ll demonstrate a FlipView control, that represents an items control that displays one item at a time, and which enables "flip" behavior for traversing its collection of items...

Over the last months I’ve worked a lot with Windows 8 Metro applications, from Consumer Preview to Preview 2 and now to RC.

Tweet In my previous post “ Teams and Team Members ” I talked about new Service in TFS API called – TfsTeamService. Using this service we can control Teams and Team Members under TFS. We can create and remove Teams and Team Members using TFS API.

Tweet Everyone who start developing for Windows 8 most heard about the AppBar control, the AppBar control is a navigation bar allowing the developer to add commands for his application. When you define a command for AppBar you can set a Icon for it and there is already a lot of icons available for you out of the box in any Metro app. To use those built it icons in C# and JavaScript you just need to set the font-family to - Segoe UI Symbol and write down the hexadecimal value of the icon. Because...
Tweet I think this is a most tool for any blogger out there, most of my posts contains Source Code examples and pasting Source Code without Colors and Format is just ugly. In Visual Studio 2010 Microsoft released the Productivity Tools that has the Copy Source Code as Html built in, also there is a CodePlex project - http://copysourceashtml.codeplex.com/ that supports Visual Studio 2005 and 2008. Because Productivity Tools for Visual Studio 11 Beta isn’t out yet I’ve modified the CopySourceAsHtml...

Tweet The first thing I would like to talk about is Exploratory Testing, I think this is one of the most important features for Microsoft Test Manager added in Visual Studio 11. The most important bugs are usually found by unanticipated exploration of the application. Visual Studio exploratory testing keeps a full log of your interaction with the software under test and allows you snip the log to show only the relevant sequence to illustrates the bug. This can be combined with screenshots to show...

Promise is a way for Asynchronous Programming in JavaScript , Avoiding synchronous execution in single-threaded languages like JavaScript is necessary in order to create apps that are responsive and high performing. Windows Library for JavaScript provides a consistent and predictable mechanism called a Promise that simplifies...

In this post I’ll focus on what new in Microsoft Test Manager 11. Let start from Html support for Test Steps: (Thanks YOU!!!) And FULL html support in Html Fields , the big issue here is: you can now add pictures to any Html Field (still not for Test Steps) On the Test Menu you can set the Test Case result without running the test. The Plan...

Tweet When creating an Win 8 Metro App you define splash screen with a single image, what if you want to do more… For example show some animations, load your resources before the application loads and more. In this post I’ll show you how to create custom Splash Screen and control the load event so you know when the loading is over and your user can start using the application. In my demo I’ll display some canvas animation and a timer (from 10s) until going to the main page. Download Demo Project...
Tweet In my previous post I talked about App Settings , and now it’s time to talk about on of the most important things – Message Dialog. Download Demo Project I’ve already saw people who wrote overlay div to show messages, just because they didn’t find how to add more buttons for the Message Dialog, so let me show you how- Using the WinRT you can use the MessageDialog to popup a message to the user: var msg = new Windows.UI.Popups.MessageDialog( "Message Content" , "Your Message Title"...
