A Plugin for a Plugin

Isn't life amazing? These days you can download a plugin (ReSharper) and write a plugin for it (VstsUnit). That's what my fellow plumber James Kovacs did. He was using VSTS for his unit testing but unfortunately the built-in Test Runner for ReSharper didn't support VSTS unit tests, only csUnit/NUnit. So armed with the ReSharper SDK and a few brain cells to kill, he went off to build a plugin for a plugin. Basically it allows you, with ReSharper installed, to run Visual Studio Team System based tests via the test runner. I personally use TestDriven.NET which supports anything you throw at but if you're a ReSharper guy and are stuck with VSTS rather than NUnit for your testing tools, take a look at this freebie. You can download it here.
