TFS Get latest version on checkout
As most Team Foundation Server (TFS) users will know by now, upon checkout of a file from source control, the latest version isn't retrieved. For a lot of users very odd, while this was the cast in Visual Source Safe. This is actually by design. And...

Some time ago I had a discussion with my colleague Alex Thissen about the differences between Visual Studio 2005 (unit) testing, and NUnit and TestDriven.NET. I'm very pro NUnit, but Alex says he can do everything I do with VS2005. I disagreed and we...

VS 2005 Test-Driven Development?
Unfortunately Visual Studio 2005 RTM isn't online , as Jeffrey Palermo ' promised '. Strange enough his post has been removed from his blog. In his last post, he talks about what MSDN says about Test-Driven Development . Microsoft advises people to draw...
