csUnit Solution Description
===========================

Last change: March 31, 2007.

This file describes the purpose of the different projects, which are part of the
csUnit solution.

csUnit
------
A .NET class library with classes for writing test cases. Will be installed in
the global assembly cache (GAC). Furthermore it will be displayed in the "Add
Reference" dialog box of Visual Studio.


csUnit.Interfaces
-----------------
This assembly contains the interface, delegate and event definitions needed for
internal communication of the csUnit framework. Don't use, as they are subject
to change.


csUnit.Interfaces.Tests
-----------------------
Tests for csUnit.Interfaces.


csUnit.Mocks
------------
Mocks used to speed up tests.


csUnit.Ui.Controls
------------------
This projects contains all user controls which are shared between different
graphical user interfaces in csUnit, e.g. csUnitRunner and csUnit4VS.


csUnit.Ui.Controls.Tests
------------------------
Tests for csUnit.Ui.Controls.


csUnit4VS2005
-------------
Add-in for Visual Studio 2005. This project also contains a batch file for 
building a resource only satellite assembly.


csUnitCmd
---------
The command line version of csUnit.


csUnitCmdTest
-------------
Project containing the tests for the command line interface csUnitCmd.


csUnitCore
----------
An assembly that will contain the core classes used by the csUnit framework. 
The reason for splitting csUnitRunner up into two pieces is better testability.


csUnitCoreTest
--------------
Assembly containing the tests for csUnitCore.


csUnitRunner
------------
A stand-alone application, able to load assemblies containing test cases. Test
cases are retrieved from the loaded assembly, executed and their results
displayed.


csUnitTest
----------
An assembly containing tests for csUnit.


csUnitVSWizard
--------------
This project implements a generic wizard for creating C#, J#, Visual Basic .NET,
and Managed C++ projects containing tests.



CSharpDLL
---------
A DLL assembly containing a few examples of how to use classes from the csUnit
library. The 'CSharpDLL' library is used for testing csUnitRunner.


CSharpDLL.withdotinname
-----------------------
A DLL assembly used for testing csUnitRunner.


CSharpApp
---------
An executable containing a test for accessing application configuration files.


JSharpDLL
---------
A Visual J# .NET example of tests implemented in a class library.


Mock.ConsoleRedirection
-----------------------
A project that builds an assembly which is used for testing.


VbDLL
-----
A Visual Basic .NET example of tests implemented in a class library.


VbEXE
-----
A Visual Basic .NET example of tests implemented in an application.


ManagedCppDLL
-------------
A sample showing how to implement tests in a managed C++ library.


setup2005
---------
Setup project for Visual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0.



NOTES FOR DEVELOPERS ON CSUNIT
------------------------------
If you build/compile the csUnit sources for your own development needs, then 
please be aware of the pre-2.0 build architecture.  In previous versions, the 
project assemblies were automatically installed into the GAC using the 
postbuild.bat scripts.  This has gone away with the 2.0 release.  This also 
means that *IF* you installed csUnit from the MSI, then proceeded to build from 
sources, the uninstall of the MSI will *NOT* remove the assemblies from the GAC.
You will have to manually remove these assemblies from the GAC using the .NET 
2.0 configuration tool from the control panel.
