What is the alternate solution for List-to-List control in Pega 7.2. As it deprecated from Pega 7 ?

There is no alternative. It is assumed that you will solve problems using repeat grid, drag-n-drops. Can you describe your problem more details?

Yes, the alternative is available as part of UI-Gallery. The previous control is non-auto generated, so it has be deprecated in Pega7. When we can build the same control using declarative rules, the non-auto generated code is not required.
NAVIGATE to UI-GALLERY:
1. DesignerStudio > User-Interface > UI-Gallery.
2. Look for Build-A-List.
3. View design-time-configurations.
P.S. You can build this is many ways, easiest way is to move element from a data-page/page-list to another.

Asp.net form validation using Validation configuration file

Currently I have a requirement to validate(server side) forms in ASP.net (not MVC). We have several fields in our form which gets data from active directory. Instead of using inbuilt .net validation control, the requirement was to use a configuration setting for all validations, which can be easily edited.I am planning to use XML(or any other similar alternative) as configuration Editor.
Initially I thought (still thinking) this is simple task to achieve. But when I searched for similar implementation, i couldn't find one. Some of the implementation which i saw uses a very complex approach. The whole idea was to keep the validation settings as simple and as dynamic as possible.
I would appreciate if anyone can direct me to a similar implementation or give suggestions with respect to this.
After some research I found this article very useful. It introduced me the validation block in Enterprise Library 5.0 which can be customized as per our requirement.

Devexpress XtraReport custom XrTable, XrTableRow, XrTableCell

I would like to create custom XrTable (e.g. : MyXrTable that contains MyXrTableRows/MyXrTableCells) control with some additional properties.
Is there any way ho to implement this? I think that it should be a workaround because there is no official support from DevExpress for this.
I have found following topics about this problem:
http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/p/S133680.aspx
http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/p/Q314421.aspx
Note: There is no problem to create custom control based on XrLabel or XrPanel but XrTable is more complex control.
I believe the best way to get guaranteed assistance with any DevExpress controls is contacting with DevExpress Support directly.
P.S. Note that FULL SUPPORT IS FREE during the evaluation period (30 days).

Rebol grid control

I am looking for an equivalent of a grid control in Rebol, to display some table data.
I came across this script: face-grid.r
...and its associated demo: face-grid-demo.r
This seems to be an excellent start. Does anyone know if there is some active and/or newer version of this grid, or something similar?
Depending what you need exactly.
Brett's datagrid is a bit basic. For example, it does not handle scrollers by itself.
Henrik has done a list-view with tons of features. Maybe it can be a choice for you :
list-view.
But there are also different list styles part of the VID extension kit from the same author.
Here is the list documentation.
All are for Rebol2.

Telerik or Devexpress scheduler

We have got a requirement to use a scheduler in one of our application. After browsing we found some tools to do this.
We found two main third party components for this - Telerik Scheduler and Devexpress scheduler.
We need another functionality like we need to drag some data from another control to this scheduler.
So both these gives this option
For Telerik : http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/examples/draganddropintegration/defaultcs.aspx
For Devexpress : http://documentation.devexpress.com/#WindowsForms/CustomDocument2274
So for this functionality which one is better; i can't find any exact comparison for the scheduler components of both products.
This is a subjective question but both control are decent and have great support and rich feature set. My advise would be to get a trial of both and see how it matches to your liking, general design and what you're trying to achieve with it.

Automated Flex testing without static AutomationIDs

Has anyone had any luck testing a Flex app without static Automation IDs attached to components? All of the elements in the apps are generated .....
We've investigated FlexMonkey but it appears to be incompatible with any app that utilizes the ExternalInterface. RIATest's scripting language leaves much to be desired...
Thanks-
Jonathan
Unfortunately I don't know much about this kind of stuff, but I went to a talk that presented these tools for TDD:
- Hudson
- Flex Unit 4
I guess there are tutorials online, don't know if it helps with ExternalInterface testing.
Is there anything that prevents you from generating appropriate automationNames for your generated components? This way you should be able to refer to them properly in automation tools.
Are there any other non-changing properties that your generated components have, like maybe 'id'? If so you can use these properties to address the components. This is definitely possible in RIATest.
FunFX is a Flex automation tool that allows you to access components via ID, "automation name", "automation value" or index. While using something like the component index might be less than ideal for robust tests, if that's all that's stable, it might be worth a try. And it's written in Ruby, so that should satisfy any "real programming language" related requirements. :)
We added an "automationPrefix" property to many of our custom controls (particularly those that are reused many times on a single screen), and wrote code to append the beginning of the automationName property on any child controls. Setting the automationName was the most important parting of enabling automation testing on our Flex apps. There are several ways you could modify the automationName to be unique without making it completely static at the level that most test automation packages need it. We are currently using QTP as the test automation tool of choice.
