nunitasp also uses real httprequests to a real server.  this is one of
the reasons that i don't think that it is really usable for tfui --
when the serverside code is running in a completely separate web
server process, it means you're not really unit testing (not to
mention the fact that this makes your tests so slooow).

i've made some progress on the tfui web stuff that i mentioned earlier
and have a simple prototype ready.  in order to simulate interactivity
between the client (browser) and the server, i'm hooking into the IE
eventing mechanism.  whenever IE goes to fetch a new page, it
generates an event which i catch and then use to directly invoke a
callback on the page or control class.  asp.net makes this tricky
because of the large number of sealed (final) classes (like
HttpContext).  but i've hacked some of it to get this to work.

i'm still deciding what to do with this library (any suggestions for a
good name).  being able to reveal asp.net web controls alone is sweet
enough. :)

cheers,
owen.
