Answer 1

Nath, The Silverlight Control Toolkit uses it. Why not take a look at the unit tests there?

Answer 2

Hi,

I've written a couple of blog posts about the Silverlight Unit Testing Framework. The first one covers how to test asynchronous code using the asynchronous attribute and some of the more advanced features of the framework. The post can be found at http://jonas.follesoe.no/UnitTestingAsynchronousSilverlightCode.aspx

The second post is about organizing your tests using the Tag-attribute. This enables you to have unit/integration/performance/UI tests in the same test suite, but only execute one specific category at a time.

Answer 3

You should also try to use SilverUnit for real Silverlight unit testing, it is a really easy to use framework, which also protects you from the intricacies of Silverlight event processing.
