Can I use Visual Studio's testing facilities in native code?

Question

Is it possible to use Visual Studio's testing system with native code? I have no objection to recompiling the code itself under C++/CLI if it's possible the code can be recompiled without changes -- but the production code shipped has to be native code.

The Premium Edition comes with code coverage support which I might be able to get cheaply from my University -- but I can get the Professional Edition for free from DreamSpark -- and that's the only thing I can see that I'd use. (But I'd use it a LOT)

Answer 1

Well, I hate to answer my own question, but the answer is no:

This is not going to fly, you cannot use any unmanaged code when compiling safe. That prevents use of any of the unmanaged CRT headers.

Unit testing requires /clr:safe. In other words, no, this is not supported. sigh
