"Anonymous" term is misleading, "random" will be more appropriate.

re: Unit Testing ADO.NET Data Services

I don't see how this actually Initializes the service so I can make calls to it. Particularly, I want to call InitializeService, but I don't know what to pass as a DataServiceConfiguration object.

It would be nice to see have a working solution to look at.

How about if I want to simulate input with pause and test in between? Like: Type 'A', Assert, Type 'B', assert

No, I use neither R# nor CR...

Caved in on the R# yet? (I'm using CR but whenever I pair with an R#er, it's hard not to feel like an idiot!)

good, but as a personal preference and holding only the personal value, I try to be a bit clearer and use

re: ClassCleanup May Run Later Than You Think

Jostein Kjønigsen — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 12:34:52 GMT

What this results in for all means and purposes is that ClassInitialize and ClassCleanup has no useful purpose since order cannot be assumed to be deterministic anyway.

It's only function at this point is -misleading- programmers into thinking they have a deterministic execution structure when they don't have it, and thus introduce bugs you wouldn't otherwise get.

TFS would in fact be a better product with these highly misleading attributes completely absent. Not calling this behaviour a bug is incomprehensible.
