I think I have testing of small non-database stuff down, but now I want to start testing my real solutions - that are almost always CRUD-heavy. So let's assume I have a class in the data-access layer, that does standa...
The preview for a silverlight usercontrol in vs2008 is mostly useless to me and it takes forever to load.
