thanks

Hi, that has been asked and answered here[^]. And there are 9! permutations (that's 362880, not 81). :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] Fixturized forever. :confused:

Hello, You can use any unit tester with DevExpress, because they are not specific to any developer tool by design. We even have our own Unit test runner tool[^] Many of us are using it internally. As for testing eXpressApp Framework applications, I suggest you have a look at our own functional testing framework - EasyTest[^]. It was specially designed to test XAF applications and we have been successfull using it to test XAF releases internally for more than 6 years. BTW, EasyTest also can be used to test regular non-XAF applications build using DevExpress components. Please contact our Support Team[^] in case of any questions. Finally, I suggest you look at the Best practices of creating reusable XAF modules by example of a View Variants module extension[^] blog I recently wrote. You may be interested in it, because it also demonstrates how EasyTest can save you a lot of time. Thanks, Dennis DevExpress Support, R&D, .NET Application Frameworks

Thanks, i will have a look at that. It is definitely a good possibility.

Why not simply pass in the appropriate collection?

Well, I didn't do much beyond glancing at the code, but I can tell you you're going about this wrong. The prefix can be any combination of characters (usually - depends on the barcode scanner) and doesn't have to be the same character repeating. On top of that, it's not a good idea to use the same combination of chracters for the pre and postambles. You won't be able to tell the difference between the start and stop combinations.

Hi, If your data is stored in XML format, you could use XSLT to achieve this. Just in case you are unaware of XSLT, XSLT is an XML based transform language which lets you sort, present, and summarize data which is stored within an XML file. Here is a useful link for getting started: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/08/holman/index.html?page=1[^] I hope that this is of use! Lea Hayes
