Re: [dotNetRDF-Develop] TeamCity for dotNetRDF revisit

Hi Khal

Actaully in terms of CI environment switching ot NUnit means one thing
less to install, because MSTest requires installing Visual Studio to
run and NUnit is bundled with probabyl about any CI server out there.

I merely suggested Reshareper as a convenient test runner replacement.
By the way there is a trick, which can be employed to automatically
start NUnit GUI runner and attach VS debugger on start. For that the
test project has to be changed to a console app. Simple and should
work for anyone who doesn't have R# on their box.
