[NUnitAsp-devl] NUnitAsp and .NET 2.0

[Jim S. <js...@ti...>]

I spent the afternoon today installing the VS2005 beta and running 
NUnitAsp on it.  After working my way through the normal porting issues, 
my test suite showed only three differences between 1.x and 2.0 with 
regards to NUnitAsp.  I was able to resolve all of those issues to my 
satisfaction and I feel confident that NUnitAsp will work just fine with 
.NET 2.0.

In case you're curious, here are the three issues I found:

1) Microsoft changed the naming scheme for nested controls in the 
datagrid.  "parent__ctl3_child" is now "parent_ctl03_child".  A small 
change to DataGridTester.GetChildElementHtmlId() fixed this.

2) Microsoft changed their JavaScript code for auto-postback.  Instead 
of "javascript:__postback('name', 'value')", they now use 
"javascript:setTimeout('__doPostBack(\'name\', \'value\'), 0)".  Adding 
the new pattern to WebFormTester.PostBack() fixed this.

3) Microsoft changed the behavior of drop-down lists so that calling 
ClearSelection() now selects the first item in the list rather than 
selecting nothing.  I will change the NUnitAsp test suite to reflect the 
new behavior when I release the .NET 2.0 version of NUnitAsp.

You're probably wondering when I will release an official .NET 2.0 
version of NUnitAsp.  The answer is: sometime after the next version of 
NUnitAsp comes out.  I haven't decided whether I'm going to abandon .NET 
1.x or try to support both.  Help and/or money, as always, are a big 
influence on these decisions.

Cheers,
Jim
