Re: Using NUnit with Visual C# 2008 Express

Hi again,

I've solved the problem. I think it was due to my specific setup.

I'm running Visual C# 2008 Express in a VMWare Virtual Machine on Mac  
OS X. The project files were located on a virtual shared drive (Z:)  
and not on the virtual main drive (C:). Accessing (e.g., reading)  
files from this shared drive produced the security exception. When I  
moved the main Visual Studio 2008 folder containing projects and stuff  
from Z: to C:, everything worked fine.

Once you are good to go, the solution to the Visual C# 2008 Express  
debugging limitations is also easy. You just create your own Test  
Runner Console Application referencing nunit-console-runner. The  
startup object's Main method basically just calls Runner.Main() as  
shown below.

         static void Main(string[] args)
         {
             // Run tests
             Runner.Main(args);

             // Done
             Console.WriteLine("Hit any key to continue");
             Console.ReadKey();
         }

Arguments can be provided on the Debug properties page.

I have two other projects in my solution: one NUnit test assembly  
containing the actual tests and the assembly to be tested. I also  
referenced these two projects in my Test Runner application to have  
all the output in one folder.

Cheers, Thomas
