... Uncompressed, unencrypted PDF isn't too bad, it's just text. If you can test PostScript, I would have thought you could test raw PDF. It's only when you...

I've got a question about the GetFontFromUser() method... So you don't actually test that do you? You just mock it to avoid the dialog, right? I've been...
Hi Rob, ... [...] ... I think its because CC.Net runs as a service. The service has no desktop, so NUnitForms can't open any form. Sincerely, Stefan Lieser...
This raises a curious question. Sometimes your GUI tests must display a little GUI. Either you can't or shouldn't turn it off. Maybe the test depends on the...
