With NUnit, what project type in Visual Studio do I need to use to create my test project?

Question

When I am creating a test project in Visual Studio, do I just create a C# console project type, then import Nunit?

Does the GUI then hook into this project somehow?

There seems to be tons of nunit related .dll's, which ones do I need?

Answer 1

Just create a class library (i.e. a DLL). You only need to import nunit.framework.dll.

Yes, the nUnit GUI loads your assembly (which can be a DLL or a .EXE) and finds all the public classes which have been marked with the appropriate attributes.

Answer 2

I'd recommend checking out the TestDriven.Net Visual Studio plugin. It allows you to run your tests right from VS, so there's no need to fire up the NUnit GUI.
