Now that F# is being officially productized , I thought it was time to make it a first class citizen inside TestDriven.Net . When learning a new language I like to experiment by writing ad-hoc tests and viewing my code inside .NET Reflector . My initial focus has been getting 'Go To Reflector' and the...

I've been doing some experiments to find out if it's possible to execute NUnit on a Silverlight project. I knew that Visual Studio 2008 and Expression Blend both host Silverlight for use in the designer window. It turns out that rather than host a separate instance of the CoreCLR, the designer simply...

The latest release of TestDriven.Net is now compiled against NUnit 2.4.7 . This version of NUnit includes Andreas Schlapsi 's popular RowTest extension. The RowTest attributes have been moved to the 'nunit.framework.extensions' assembly (which you can find here: \Program Files\TestDriven.NET 2.0\NUnit...

I've just uploaded a new version of TestDriven.Net with support for Silverlight 2.0 Beta 1. Microsoft have certainly kept me on my toes as there have been lots of changes since Silverlight 1.1. I'm sorry it has taken a while! At the moment you're limited to running individual public methods (ad-hoc tests...

TestDriven.Net has always supported parameterized test methods when used with the MbUnit testing framework. When using MbUnit, it is common for a single test method to execute multiple tests with different parameter inputs. The most famous of these test types is the MbUnit RowTest . Until now there has...

Over the past year the 'Go To Reflector' command has become a first class citizen inside TestDriven.Net . You will find the 'Go To Reflector' button on many different context menus inside Visual Studio. The ones I use most often during development are the 'Code Context' and 'Project Reference' menus...

There are a number of new features in TestDriven.Net 2.10 that I want to highlight (apart from the VS 2008 crash workaround ). The one I'm going to focus on here is subtle, but significant I believe - especially for people working with large solutions. Smart build is a new optimization that allows you...

Now that Visual Studio 2008 RTM is out I have started getting reports of Visual Studio crashing on startup when TestDriven.Net is installed. I was pretty dismayed as TestDriven.Net has included Orcas support since January of this year and this support has been pretty well tested. I certainly wasn't expecting...

Jamie A comments to an article on Channel Register : Here's a slightly less technical way of looking at the issue: Microsoft essentially have 2 editions of a program. The first edition speaks English (User Interface) to the user, but in behind can speak French (COM) to other components. The second edition...

Today Microsoft kindly extended my deadline by 24 hours so that I could further consult my lawyers. So far they have done a very good job of keeping the pressure on. This isn't simply a case of knocking out a quick email Pirate Bay style ! Before I released support for Visual Studio Express , I made...
