[TFUI] RE: TDDing Excel

Hi Cory, in the last month I also had a play with TDDing Excel with .net. 
I found the following article very useful:

Forgive my ignorance but what is the Fitnesse list?

Subject: TDDing Excel

Over on the Fitnesse list they've been working on a .NET port. I threw 
my hat in to get FolderRunner running, which includes a 
SpreadsheetRunner that reads in an Excel spreadsheet to run FIT against. 
For the Java port, they use POI to read it in, and the thought was that 
it should be much easier in the .NET environment.

Anyway, I decided to tackle writing the Runner using TDD. I've made it 
through the whole app without having to view the Excel file once. The 
nice thing is that they almost have a Reveal() because you can set the 
app's visibility programatically (which turned out to be interesting 
when I had 6 instances running that I didn't know about).

Anyway, I've made it through reading in the text, and posted a short 
article on it so far. I'll be finishing the Fitnesse stuff with it this 
week, and will post the rest of the experience as I finish it then.

Thanks to you all on the TFUI list for planting in my head the idea of 
TDDing an Excel spreadsheet!

Cory
