Is there a good tutorial article on how to do this in VS 2008? I’ve found this one but it is for VS 2005:

Richard,

I owe you a beer. That was the single best tip I have received in weeks. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

CTRL+F5 executes without the debugger.

You are the man! THE MAN, I say!

If you have the project with the tests set as the Startup project then Ctrl-F5 (or F5) will run all the tests.

I am not using R# for this exercise on purpose even though I love the user experience of unit testing (not to mentio all the other stuff) using R#.

Firstly, I using the MSUnit testing capabilites instead of NUnit and while R# has an open extension point to hook into MSUnit, I don’t know that anyone has actually done that yet.

Secondly, there are compelling reasons to stick to a standard, vendor-issued tool in a large scale environment. Open source licensing on your unit testing framework can actually end up being problematic in distribution or commercial environment. At $300 a pop, a 100 person dev shop starts to wonder whether resharper is really the best option.

And laslty, I just want to see how the other half lives .
