Silverlight NUnit Projects
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 loads the Silverlight assemblies into the host runtime. This simplifies the business of creating a compatible unit testing framework considerably!

TestDriven.Net 2.13: Support for Silverlight 2.0 Beta 1

Test With... Silverlight/CoreCLR
I have just released a new version of TestDriven.NET (2.7 Beta) with support for Silverlight/CoreCLR. Simply right click on the method you would like to execute with the CoreCLR and select 'Test With... Silverlight'. You can use this to execute any public methods (ad-hoc tests). I recommend you use 'Console.WriteLine' for any output messages. 'Trace.WriteLine' is supported by Silverlight's version of 'System.dll' but you would need to use something like DebugView to see the output.

Building Orcas Projects with Expression Blend 2
Joe & The VB Team has a tip for building Orcas projects with Expression Blend 2. This trick allows Blend2 to build projects using MSBuild 3.5 (the version Orcas uses). This should mean that projects created using Silverlight tools for Orcas will be compatible with Blend2. It does appear to fix the compile errors I was getting before.
