Non-Admin & VS2005
I've had mixed success with the NUnitAddIn installation issues. I've tried to make it so that an administrator can do and install for all non-admin users. According to the documentation Visual Studio does supports this, but so far I haven't been able to get it working. I even created a noddy add-in using the 'Extensibility Project' wizard, but even this wouldn't work for non-admin users. Are there any add-ins out there that work for non-admin users?

NUnitAddIn Install
If you have had problems installing a recent version of NUnitAddIn please contact me. I know some people have had issues and I would really like to get to the bottom of this. The most recent version is NUnitAddIn-0.6.365 and you can find it here. There have been over 800 downloads of this version and only 1 person has contacted me (thanks Mawi). The chances are it will work, but if not please let me know!

Mono in 2005
I'm in the slightly odd situation where only Mono is working with Visual Studio 2005. The older .NET runtimes are throwing the following exception...

Changing a DLL Project to EXE
NUnit supports having a '.config' file associated with a test assembly. When creating a new app domain, NUnit looks for a file with the same file name as the test assembly but ending with '.config' (eg My.Tests.dll.config). This is similar to the way .NET uses EXE.config files when a new process is started.

.NET Reflector Add-Ins 4.0.3.0
The Reflector Add-In for Visual Studio .NET is now being maintained in the .NET Reflector Add-Ins GDN Workspace. This has the huge advantage that for every new build of .NET Reflector the add-ins will be compiled and updated. Although the add-ins might keep working when you use Reflector's 'Check for Updates' feature - it is highly recomended that you download the latest add-ins.

Abstract Test Pattern
I thought now would be a good time to mention NUnitAddin's support for 'Abstract Tests'. Jonathan de Halleux has a good write up where he compares the Abstract Test Pattern with MbUnit's support for Composite Unit Testing. I'm working with him to add support for MbUnit and will mention here when it's ready. For the moment this is what you can do with plain old NUnit...

A Quick Outline
The .NET Guy highlights one of the most useful features of Reflector from a design and understanding APIs point of view. Selecting 'Outline' with only public visability checked on one of your own namespaces can prove very informative.

Reflector Add-In Resurrection
You must have been hiding under a rock if you haven't heard about the new version of Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector by now. With its support for generics, loading any version of mscorlib (including 2.0 and Mono) and the refreshing of assemblies you're in for a treat! This means all of the frustrations faced by my original Reflector Add-In are gone.
