    <p>The Silverlight Unit Testing Framework is an adaptation of the same metadata from Visual Studio's test framework. I developed it in my spare time a few years ago while working on the Silverlight team, and today we're shipping it a little more formally.</p> <p>I recommend it simply because it is being used by so many teams inside and outside of Microsoft, and if you've used the existing test metadata, it all just works - no new learning.</p> <p>Find it here:</p> <ul> <li>It ships in the source code package for the <a href="http://silverlight.codeplex.com/" rel="noreferrer">Silverlight Toolkit</a>, since the Silverlight Toolkit controls use this test framework. Find it in the "Binaries" folder.</li> <li>Download the binaries at the <a href="http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/silverlightut" rel="noreferrer">MSDN code gallery page</a></li> <li>The open-source (Ms-PL) code to the framework itself is available for download in the Silverlight Toolkit's <a href="http://silverlight.codeplex.com/SourceControl/ListDownloadableCommits.aspx" rel="noreferrer">source code enlistment</a>.</li> <li>More information, tutorials, and documents are <a href="http://www.jeff.wilcox.name/topics/dev/testing/" rel="noreferrer">available on my blog</a> (sorry to link to myself here, but I am the Microsoft developer of the framework)</li> </ul> <p><em>The framework does have limitations, unfortunately</em></p> <p>Because of the security model for Silverlight Applications, the framework has less integration that the typical VS test suite: tests run inside the browser, are technically built Silverlight apps, and automation and code coverage are a bit of a challenge to get going.</p> <p>But it's a first step in doing Silverlight development.</p> <p>In the future, the test framework is actually going to become a proper part of the Silverlight Toolkit - additional tools including an automated test runner, build server integration, and even simple block-level code coverage will be released.</p>

    1. COThanks, Jeff. I recently started following your blog, esp with regard to Silverlight testing. It's good stuff. Guess what I'm really getting at is how to run automated unit tests against a silverlight class library. Is that possible w/the silverlight unit test framework?

    2. COScott, yes. Sort of. There's a "TestService" client built into the product that can work with a local HTTP service to relay information and control the browser. We're going to try and publish these tools online, or in the Silverlight Toolkit, in the future. I'm sorry that it isn't documented well today, so stay tuned.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
