• Crobat Exceptions in unit tests in secondary threads kills vstesthost

  Hi, I was told at the PDC to log this issue here. I have some asynchronous APIs like BeginWork(). I am writing some unit tests for these APIs.

If there are uncaught exceptions in these secondary threads, VsTestHost dies without performing any further unit tests in the list which have not been executed yet. I wanted to know if this is a bug.

After this seemingly inocuous change, Tfs no longer works, producing a long error message in the System event log on startup (see below). Should this be expected, or did something really break   I'm guessing that maybe I've run afoul of some well-intentioned copy-prote ...Show All

Does this mean you cant use July CTP of TFS and VS2005 together   Isnt it the whole point of having the 2 CTPs together, especially on something s ...Show All
