TestDriven.NET by Jamie Cansdale

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.

There's a new challenge up at Code Blog.  This time the tests are for something a little more real.  The aim is to parse a Visual Studio SLN file.  I admit to having a vested interest in some code to do this.  I am sick to death of poluting my test code with explicit knowledge of where project output directories are located ('bin\Debug' or whatever).  I really want to reference my project directories by name.  For example, 'Projects.Find("MyProject").BaseDirectory'.

Have you ever wondered how ASP.NET installs its fancy 'Web.config' configuration system?  Well, here it is...

I have found a good article on Ivan's blog on the proper way to sandbox code.

There's a new set of unit tests over at Test Driven .NET.  Thanks to Johan Danforth for being our first 'test driver'.  Hopefully this one will show there are many ways to skin a cat.  Once there are enough submissions up, I am hoping to graph them (maybe using Jonathan de Halleux's NPerf recently posted on Code Project).

Donny Mack shows us how to specify the 'aspnet_client' directory in your Web.config.  I'm sure this will come in useful soon (I'm playing the Cassini web server).

I've added the ability to add assembly references when compiling with Code Blog.  Something that threw me is the strong name key used to sign the 'System' and 'System.Web' assemblies are different!  To make life easy for you I'm now using LoadWithPartialName.  To reference the correct version of 'System.Web' you can just do "System.Web, Version=1.0.5000.0".
