I figure I would share this as I’ve been having a heck of a time adding the NUnit test framework to ASP.NET MVC project in VS2008 Professional.  I’m running Windows 7 RTM 64-bit and most of the examples on the web don’t take into account the differences associated with a 64-bit OS.  So keep in mind this template is for a 64-bit OS, specifically Windows 7. 

To start, the path in the registry where the NUnit entries need to get added is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\MVC\TestProjectTemplates\NUnit\C#

Also, the template zip file needs to get copied to the following folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\Test\1033

A lot of people instruct people to place it one directory above the one I listed, which wouldn’t work for some reason.  I zipped everything up so just download the zip file, unzip it, and run the regnunittomvc.bat to install.  Also keep in mind that this will work with any version of NUnit.  I just installed this with NUnit 2.5.2.9222 and it worked beautifully.  I also included Rhino.Mocks with this template also (version 3.6).  Enjoy.

 

While searching for a potential docking station for my new iPhone, I came across this DIY Paper Dock that, well, is simply awesome!

Be sure to check out the link as there is also an instructional video.  I think I’m going to go with this one :)

I've been using StartCom for my personal email certificates and also for my domain for SSL for over 2 years now.  They offer a great service, excellent customer service, and very fast turn-around on identity verification during your account setup.  I just read via twitter from @dm_the_company that Microsoft added StartCom to their list of trusted root certificate authorities.  Windows 7 will come out-of-the-box with StartCom as a root CA and Microsoft also has an optional patch available for XP and Vista that can be installed to add the StartCom certificates to those operating systems, which allows those certificates to be recognized by the OS without any extra work done by the user.  Very good news.  I recommend you give them a look if you're in the market for getting a certificate for your domain or personal email.  Also, their Class 1 certificates are free and for minimal cost you can upgrade to Class 2 or 3 validation depending on your needs.
