Mock Javascript or How to unit test Javascript outside the Browser

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 21:54:55 GMT

At work I do a lot of javascript. The .net framework we develop has a extensive javascript library for the web controls to use and abuse. What happens is that many times we end up building pages to test parts of our js framework.

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 13:54:34 GMT

When a web page uses scripting to close a browser window that was opened by the user and not opened by some action on another page, Internet Explorer pops up a question to the user warning that "The webpage you are viewing is trying to close the tab." (in this case, Internet Explorer 7) and asking the user for permission to close the tab.

Improving The Page Flow Application Block: Current Definition And ...

Mon, 29 Oct 2007 07:13:10 GMT

There are a number of classes in the in the .NET Framework that expose a static (shared in Visual Basic) property with a reference to an instance valid in a particular scope (usually the current thread). In this article the author changes the Page Flow Application Block to add properties to the page flow directory in order to take advantage of the work done by the page flow provider.

Improving The Page Flow Application Block: Decoupling Page Flow Usage

Wed, 17 Oct 2007 06:48:44 GMT

I don't like the fact that I need to know the type of a page flow definition. Or even the fact that a page flow definition has a type. In this article I'll change the Page Flow Application Block to be possible to get page flows by its definition name instead of its definition type.

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 06:28:37 GMT

Especially in development and demonstration scenarios, the dependency on a database can be a big hassle. In this article the author shows how to remove this dependency.

Page Flow Application Block With Page Modules

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 19:10:53 GMT

In this article I will demonstrate how a web application can benefit from the use of Page Modules using, for the demonstration, the Page Flow Store Quick Start and the Page Flow Application Block shipped with the Web Client Software Factory.

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 19:10:10 GMT

In an ASP.NET application the instances of the HttpApplication class are responsible for handling the requests. These instances are created by the ASP.NET infrastructure and each one may serve many request in its lifetime, however, serving only one at a time.

Optimizing writing for the CustomTextMessageEncoder

Mon, 07 May 2007 20:01:43 GMT

As I told before I've been using WFC to call legacy POX web services. Some of them only accept iso-8859-1, others can accept utf-8, but all use MessageVersion.None and the text/xml media type.

Optimizing reading for the CustomTextMessageEncoder

Mon, 07 May 2007 19:54:37 GMT

Continuing the improvement of the CustomTextMessageEncoder (see this and this), this time I'll use the XmlDictionaryWriter instead of the XmlTextWriter whenever the character encoding is utf-8, utf-16 or Unicode.

System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode and character encodings

Sun, 06 May 2007 20:05:07 GMT

A kind reader of one of my blogs posed me a question about a problem with HttpUtility.UrlEncode. His problem was that he needed to URL encode São Marcos and instead of getting S%E3o%20Marcos he was getting S%C3%A3o%20Marcos.

WCF: Text Message Encoding and ISO-8859-1 Encoding

Wed, 25 Apr 2007 19:23:03 GMT

I'm a newbie in WFC and, so far, only have done client code to call POX web services. I've been using a textMessageEncoding binding extension with a message version of None and a write encoding of utf-8 and all has been running fine. Well, until I needed to call a service in iso-8859-1 encoding. Then I started getting a ProtocolException: Message="The content type text/xml;charset=iso-8859-1 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=utf-8). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly. Bruno directed me to a sample that looked promising. The sample works fine because it's using the same binding extension in the server and in the client. When I tried to use the customTextMessageBinding from the sample, I got this nice ProtocolException: The content type text/xml;charset=iso-8859-1 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=iso-8859-1). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly. Looks kind of funny, doesn't it? It comes down to the fact that the base MessageEncoder class doing a string comparison on the content type. To solve this, I overrided the IsContentTypeSupported method and added an additional validadion when the validation fails. This new validation only checks for the media type of the response and lets the XmlReader handle the encoding.
