Building Better Integration Tests
Sep 24, 2012 at 7:15 PMThe session was built around a two hour user group talk; admittingly this wasn't my best delivery of the session - I'd blame the 20+ hours of flying to get to TechEd but overall it's an important topic and please dig in further to the code. Feel free to reach out to me, colin@bowern.com, @colinbowern, if you are interested in some of the specifics. Code is up at https://github.com/colinbowern/presentations.

Nov 06, 2009 at 12:27 PMI was really excited until it sporked the Windows CardSpace control panel applet on Win 7 x64. Not sure if this was meant to place nice with the VS2010 beta 2 bits. Posted the error on the MSDN forum for CBA. One thing I do really like is the configuration wizard on the Fabrikam Shipping sample.
