VS 2005 beta 1

Apparently NUnitAddin needs a reasonable amount of work to make it play nicely with VS 2005, and I'm sure we'd have seen an update if that wasn't the case. In the meantime, a post outlining the current state of play would be really nice... (hint, hint!) ;) Can't wait to get these two working together!

It has been a bit of work getting it to work with VS 2005 beta 1. In this latest revision the Visual Studio extensability assemblies have changed. Also the technique I was using to activate the add-in in a new app domain no longer works. I've now fixed it to use the default domain but this causes issues for VS2002. I can no longer use binding redirects in the app domain's config file to make it work with .NET 1.0. I am now forced to build against .NET 1.0 if I want to remain compatable with VS 2002.  Luckily MSBuild has come to the rescue!

The good news is I should have a version that works with all versions of Visual Studio .NET later on today.   Please drop me a line if you'd like to help test it on VS 2002 or VS 2005 (all versions including C#/C++ Express).  The deadline is today (18 July 04) as I'm off on holiday next week.

Thanks for the update, and have a great holiday! :)
I'll gladly test whatever you've got but unfortunately I can't until tomorrow (19th).

How do you feel about the fact that MS probably won't support addins at all in future releases of the Visual Studio Express SKUs?
