When i try to run my unit tests in vb.net, visual studio closes down because of an error.I don't know what is causing the problem but i is very frustrating.I have a project running for school that i can't continue because of this problem.When i had visual studio installed under windows vista i didn't got that problem. (same version of visual studio)

1. when testing a service, should I install the exe which is in the bin subfolder or the obj subfolder, and why?
2. when distributing the service, should I use the exe which is in the bin subfolder or the obj subfolder, and why?
I am retrofitting unit testing into a fairly complex system designed and written by other developers in VB.net. I am trying to develop unit tests for the GUI forms using NUnit and the NUnit Forms extension. (I've been looking at c# examples that are fairly easy to port over if you have a solution but don't know VB syntax as long as it uses NUnit classes)
I will try and explain what I am doing but first a brief description of the program. It basically monitors server activity. You need to connect to a server via a modal form with IP and Port fields(amongst others). Once you have connected to a server other parts of the program unlock and become usable (such as configuration of the server).
Desired process: Load program > click connect button > modal connect form loads > enter details > click OK to connect > main form updates to logged-in state > other functionality
The problem is that I cannot test the functionality of the connect form and then the logged-in functionality of the program. I can test that it loads the modal connect form correctly; enters the details and clicks OK (all fine so-far) but it does not appear to logically progress the program. The modal form just closes again seemingly without running the connect code from the program back-end and I'm back at the main menu not logged in to anything.
I have a feeling that I've either missed something really obvious or that it's simply not doable in NUnit.I have trawled the internet in search of anything similar but the closest was another SO thread that was really generic. Without being able to actually test the logged-in version of the program, I'm at a major hurdle.Another issue is handling message boxes that don't have unique identifiers (e.g. "are you sure you want to exit?"); these also seem to be a major pain in the arse with NUnit (If it makes any difference, I'm running the tests as a stand-alone project using a reference to the executable file of the built project, not the actual source)

I'm looking into adding some unit tests for some classes in my data access layer and I'm looking at an update routine that has no return value.It simply updates a row based on the id you provide at whichever column name you provide.Inside of this method, we collect the parameters and pass them to a helper routine which calls the stored procedure to update the table.Is there a recommended approach for how to do unit testing in such a scenario?
View 4 RepliesI want a sure-shot method to test if the application was run via the UAC box and has full administrative rights. Earlier, I thought of making a folder in C:Windows for testing but running it on other computers proved to be a failure!
The UAC box provides all administrative rights to the computer to do anything(including making folders and creating files in places which needs there rights) and also makes sure that any child program so called or created also does have the same rights as the parent.Is there a sure-shot way to test if my application has been provided all the administrative rights that I can maximum get by the user while running the application or not? If yes, I would be glad to have to piece of code-work!

View 1 RepliesI'm building an Active Directory wrapper in VBNET 2.0 (can't use later .NET) in which I have the following:
IUtilisateur
IGroupe
IUniteOrganisation
These interfaces are implemented in internal classes (Friend in VBNET), so that I want to implement a façade in order to instiate each of the interfaces with their internal classes. This will allow the architecture a better flexibility, etc.Now, I want to test these classes (Utilisateur, Groupe, UniteOrganisation) in a different project within the same solution. However, these classes are internal. I would like to be able to instantiate them without going through my façade, but only for these tests, nothing more.

After doing much programming, I came to know that testing and debugging are the most difficult and time-consuming phase of program development. User experience is imperative to an application's success, so ensuring the proper functionality of each feature is important. This discussion is to provide a step-by-step process that will help us to test our applications. It shall present testing best practices and highlight the common issues to avoid.There are many tools available for testing. I know some of them which I am going to mention below. I request msdn.com team and members to reply to this post and add some more points or tools that will help us.
a. Make sure design and page layout is consistent
b. Make sure there are no spelling or grammatical mistakes
c. Make sure the messages (alert, error, etc) are having no spelling or grammatical mistakes and are consistent.
Validate Functionality
a. Make sure all the form validations are done correctly. A program that is not robust will fail if you try wrong inputs like keeping the fields blank, inputting characters in place of numerics, -ve values where +ve is expected, large number of characters, etc.
b. Make sure the functionality desired from the page is complete in all aspects. For example, a page that is supposed to insert/update employee details does so correctly.
Prepare a test case document where you document test.In this document you simply write down the steps that you will perform to execute a test case, and results of test case execution. Complete test cases for the entire application in a similar manner.
In my project developed for using asp.net with vb.net coding. Now we need to performace testing using the Jmeter tool. we can't able to test because in my application lot of session variable used, Jmeter tool does not support session variables i think.Check with debugging:1.Assign the session(userName) ="abc" then goes to next page, then check value same session vaule as nothing.
View 1 RepliesI have a Do loop that I want to exit once it goes through without making any changes to an object I created. I figured the best way to do this was to create a temporary copy of the object at the beginning of the loop and then compare that to the actual object at the end of the loop to determine whether any changes were made to it. The problem occurs when variables are accessed and copied by reference. I have tried to use some of the methods such as .Clone and .Equals (maybe I shouldn't be using these, but I didn't see any better built-in methods), but I seem to be doing some stuff wrong. Can somebody give me an example of a good way to copy an object for later equality testing, and how to do the equality testing?
View 5 RepliesI was once a VB 6 expert, but it's been a while.I am attempting to create a simple DLL in VB. I created a new WCF Service Library, which is what it looks like I needed to do. I filled out the interface and implemented it. Here's the interface:
<ServiceContract()>
Public Interface AgileApi
<OperationContract()>
[code]....
And attempted to call it, but I get System.EntryPointNotFoundException. I've tried pathing the defined library and copying the dll file into the same place where my EXE is, but no change to the error.
I'm writing a piece of code to manage the Unhandled exceptions in my VB application.
I'm using the following code
Partial Friend Class MyApplication
Private Sub MyApplication_UnhandledException(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.UnhandledExceptionEventArgs) Handles

I'm trying to determine if a file "G:myfilesfile1.txt" exists. Using sample code from numerous web searches I can't make any of the FileSystemObjects work. Seems to me the FSO routines are an add-in to VB. If this is so, how do I add them in?
In noncode, this is what I really want to do:
if "file1.txt" exists AND "file2.txt" exists
if "file1.txt" filedate > "file2.txt" filedate
copy "file2.txt" to "fileold.txt"

We have a DateTime Service that pulls the Database date down when we need to use a Date. Now, If I want to run a test using "Todays" Date using FitNesse, What would be the easiest way of creating a way to have (OurService).CurrentDate be static? We have a control that ads Days,Years, or Months to the current date.. and I would like to be able to test this.

I have created a COM callable assembly which consists of an Interface, a single class which implements the interface. In this case the implementation is a single method.I have registered the assembly, created a type library and added the assembly to the GAC.I thought about opening an Office application like WORD or EXCEL 2003 and trying it from there but beyong referencing the COM assembly I have no idea how to code it.
View 1 RepliesI have a windows form application that connects to an access database. When the program is running it connects to the database and populates several textboxes that are bound to the dataset. I have been researching for 2 days and cannot find exactly what..I need, although a few threads have given me a better insight into my dataset. I would like to type text into a textbox that is bound to the primary key and when I tab out of the textbox (lostfocus event) have the program do a quick search of all records in the dataset of the primary key and if a duplicate exists, msgbox the user that that particular text is a duplicate and is not allowed, however if the text is not a duplicate, continue the tab keystroke allowing the cursor to move to the next textbox bound to the database.
