Building custom controls in WPF C#

Reusability is one of the most underrated aspects of software development. The focus on meeting functional requirements in a product as quickly as possible often overshadows the reusability and maintainability part. Code duplication, poor adherence to design are often symptoms of such development which increase costs in the long term in favour of short term [...]

Socialcast API – extracting post and user data in C#

I wrote a small application to extract post and user data for groups in the popular enterprise microblogging portal, Socialcast. It lets users access data instantly about the activity going on in their groups and the number of likes/comments being posted by group members.

The details about the API can be found here and their [...]

Scraping cricket records from Cricinfo using Html Agility Pack

I have been spending some of my free time trying to build a complete cricket statistics database by parsing records from Cricinfo. However scraping HTML pages is an ardous task. There is simply no standard way of achieving it and often becomes a struggle with regular expressions. A good solution to this problem is the [...]

Automated UI Testing of WPF applications using Microsoft UI Automation library

Testing the user interface has to be the most boring part of testing software. Not only is it not fun, it can be horribly repetitive as well with you having to check the same functionality over and over again. The time spent on it could be put to use to far better purposes. Automated Testing [...]

For the uninitiated, Google Places is a Google application for searching local businesses like hotels, ATMs etc. Places fits in beautifully with Google maps both [...]

How to Post a message to Socialcast and get the Company stream using the API with C# .NET

Since the last post, I changed the library/API wrapper a bit. I removed all the ugly reflection stuff to retrieve the specific API urls and substituted them with static variables in a separate class. However this does have the added disadvantage that the urls are exposed to the client, but at least it wont break [...]

Integrating with Socialcast API using C# .NET

Socialcast is one of the better enterprise microblogging tools out there. I have been trying to use its API to understand better how people use microblogging in the enterprise. There is no better way to validate (or invalidate) set hypotheses than by actually mining data and identifying patterns in them. If sufficient data [...]

Executing .NET code on Linux using Mono

For the last few months, I am almost exclusively using Ubuntu as my primary operating system. Due to this my .NET development suffered quite a bit and was limited just to work. To find a way around I installed Mono and played around with it.

Though a lot of people believe that .NET is completely [...]

Lifting the .NET Hood â€“ Part 2 - Back to basics

When I looked at the first post in this series, I realized had jumped the gun a bit by going straight to generics and didn’t do enough justice to the fundamentals. So in this post, I have made an effort to go back to the basics.

The CLR (Common Language Runtime) [...]

My first look at the dynamic keyword in C# 4.0

I have always believed that strong typing is the holy grail of .NET, which is not to be messed with, and it has been my primary grouse with VB.NET is that it uses sneaky workarounds to circumvent the typing rules of the CLR. C# for most of its initial existence followed static typing [...]
