  • Call to IIS-Hosted WCF Service Hangs IIS (well, not exactly)

    I ran into this problem a couple of days ago.  I’m working on an n-tier application that uses WCF services hosted in IIS under Vista & Windows 2008.  We’ve got unit tests to test each tier and they were mostly passing.

  • Run Unit Tests With Automatic DBPro DB Deploy from a Team Build

    This time I’m genuinely surprised that no one has tackled this and posted it on a blog or to the DBPro or Team System forums. When you add a unit test for a stored procedure in Visual Studio Team System for Database Professionals (DBPro) for the first time, you get the dialog asking how you…
