  • Flickr Xplorer - An Asp.net MVC photo app for Flickr

    I have flushed out a little project at Codeplex called "Flickr Xplorer". Its a Flickr mesh up that lets you search(user, tag, text), jump into user photos, see popular and latest stream and moreover lets you browse the whole Flickr in hacked url way (url routing easy and rocking). The application is made on Asp.net MVC preview 3  and I have used my LINQ.Flickr to communicate with Flickr. The project is an early stage, I will update with new features when possible and how you ask. You can use it as you like , host it to your server to make it a personal dashboard for your taken photos or use it for fast hand on for Asp.net MVC , mocking and of course how to use LINQ.Flickr API :-)

  • Mock HTTP layer to do complex tasks like uploading photo to Flickr

    In this post, I will show how you can use Typemock to fake out complex HTTP POST like uploading photo in Flickr server. The example which will be shown here, gives a pretty much generic idea of faking out HTTP calls and gain access to the response stream for comparing result with original content.I have used, N-Unit along with Typemock which run thorough TMockRunner.exe to perform the mock test.

  • LINQ.Flickr 1.3

    Just released another version of LINQ.Flickr. The release is out with several bug fixes, code optimization, new feature and overall mocking support. I have used Typemock for the unit test of the product. In coming posts, I will show how powerful mock can be in faking routine like upload photo. But, you can dig it right away, if you go by the release page and download a copy of the product. Truly speaking, testing was never fun for serviced API till mock engine is at my hand.
