Is it Unit Testing or What?

It’s not a secret we’ve been using unit testing and test-driven development for Aspose.Words from the beginning. I’ve also studied, used and taught unit testing and many XP practices in the “early days”, for example, my Practical Unit Testing articles in MSDN from 2000. It long ago became a part of nature, yet here is something new I noticed that grabbed me.

Most of the unit tests I wrote before, conformed to the “commonly accepted understanding” of what a unit … Continue Reading

Why Find and Replace Could be so Complex in Aspose.Words

The other day a customer asked how he can replace a piece of text in a Word document with a hyperlink To answer this seemingly simple question, Vladimir quickly created an example. I think the example is very smart, many thanks to Vladimir. You can see the code here http://www.aspose.com/Community/Forums/41863/ShowPost.aspx

But the example at the same time is very complex. I cringe that our Aspose.Words object model requires to write such tricky code to do a simple operation such as this find and … Continue Reading

Bad Looking Metafiles

.NET Framework is surely very powerful but some things are just weird. Goodness knows why Microsoft decided to implement rendering metafiles (such as WMFs and EMFs) and converting them to bitmaps using no smoothing thus eliminating all benefits of vector graphics. They could at least provide some option to choose whether or not to use anti-aliasing but they didn’t do that. Applications including MS Word do render metafiles properly but you will get ugly output trying to render them using System.Drawing.Graphics, especially if your metafile … Continue Reading
