Debugging NUnit test within C# Express

Apperently there was a time when the TestDriven.Net put the context menus in all the studio products, including the Express Editions.  When did that feature get pulled?  It looks like after the RTM of Express.  There’s a dialog that pops up during installation that allows you to reset the menus, leave them the way they are or cancel.  I even had an older version of TestDriven, but the all do the same thing.

What we have to do is explained on Charlie Poole’s blog on nunit.com entitled Running NUnit Automatically in C# Express.  You basically fire up the GUI from inside a project.  Hence the reason for our Kenthall.TestHelper assembly, and that’s all it does for now.

Express Has No Solution Items

Why does it not have solution items?  Cause its free!  Ah, well, I think we’ll just dump all the items into a single project.  Maybe we can rename Kenthall.TestHelper into something for the entire solution.  Right now we only have the snk file and a FxCop file, so there isn’t too much yet.

We could probably edit the solution file by hand and add in the items manually, but I’d want to just be able to do everything from within the confines of the Express product.
