Web Application Unit Testing Problem

-
I was using Visual Studio 2008 Team System and testing my ASP.NET web application project via Microsoft testing framework that is integrated to VSTS 2008.

Unit testing worked well when I did not specify a custom tag in my web application project.

Nonetheless, when I define a custom appsettings tag from my web.config file, I get the following error;
"The test adapter 'WebHostAdapter' threw an exception while running test 'DefaultTest'. The web site could not be configured correctly; getting ASP.NET process information failed. Requesting 'http://localhost:1231/VSEnterpriseHelper.axd' returned an error: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error."

I solved the issue via using web application's setting property.
In order to use the setting property;

1. Right click on the project from "Solution Explorer".
2. Select "Properties".
3. Go to the "Settings" tab.
4. Create the default settings file if not created before.
5. Specify your application wide variables here.

That's it.

Read "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bc6ws923.aspx" in order to know how to access your settings.

Space Character Problem on IE 6, 7, and 8

-
Most of the time, we need to put space in between two HTML elements to separate them. There are bunch of ways to achieve this but the following are the most common ones that I use: Space character ( ) CSS Margin (margin-right/margin-left) Space character is so natural separate them but CSS margin gives more flexibility. Also recently, I found out that in IE 6, 7, 8, extra space characters between HTML elements are not rendered as intended. For instance regular space character ( ) is rendered without the space on older version of IE (older than 9) a   b Result in IE 6, 7, 8: ab Whereas, if you use CSS (e.g. margin-right: 4px), all versions of IE renders it correctly a b Result in all IEs: a b

Configure hosts File in Android

-
Alright, today I would like to work a sample web site and browse it not only from my Android Emulator but also from my Android G1 device. Since I did not make the web site public yet, I need to play with "hosts" file in order to direct specific url to my specific intranet IP on Android browser. The steps that I follow to accomplish my goal are provided below; For Android Emulator; 1. From the terminal invoke the adb command with remount option otherwise you will get "failed to copy 'hosts' to '/system/etc/hosts': Read-only file system". adb remount 2. In the terminal pull the default hosts file from /system/etc/hosts or /etc/hosts which is the symlink of the file not only for backup purpose but also to get the file to modify. adb pull /system/etc/hosts /home/player/hostBackup/ 3. Get a copy of the the hosts file in your computer and modify it according to your needs. 4. Now we can push the file directly to the emulator. adb push /home/player/hostBack...

Here is the latest bug I faced with; After my update to iOS 5 Beta 4, alarm clock on the phone did not work! I had to reset the alarm clock to make it working again, huh.
