It was alright. Its only common sense to put all the main code in a DLL and test it there.I had a different problem. i needed to debug the retrieval of configuration data in a DLL that was used by a WebService as well as a windows service. executing as a webservice worked fine and it picked up all the config data needed but i could not make it work from a windows service and needed to debug through the call from the windows service. In this circumstance the article was of no use.

cheers
