  2. Why not just use the Unit testing built into Visual Studio 2005 and up? Sorry if wondering that makes me sound clueless.

    Also, in Fluent NHibernate, is there a tool for generating the mapping classes? It would be much like MyGeneration does for regular NHibernate mappings and classes.

    Thanks!

    I have always been an NUnit fan. This was really a problem with reflection and not really NUnit’s fault. It’s just a CLR oddity.

    As for Fluent, I really don’t know. I haven’t ever played around with generation so I can’t help. Sorry.
