Monday morning: After another weekend of travelling around the country (this time London) I have returned to work and discovered a juicy bug in Visual Studio 2008. (VS)
I noticed that when I closed my projects and reopened them, all the Unit Test lists disappeared from my Test List! Investigation revealed that VS had actually replaced the vsmdi file (myProject.vsmdi) with a new one (myProject1.vsmdi). To get the original test list back you have to delete this new one and re-add the original one from the project directory.
A temporary work around to get around the issue is to close the Test List Editor prior to closing the solution/project or VS.
I've checked on Microsoft's connect website and this has already been reported. Interestingly enough I came across this post by Aaron Stebner (here!) about best practice when logging a Bug with Microsoft.

In the beginning there was light...
I have been meaning to start putting together a blog for many years now. Finally, one quiet day in the office I have finally put this together!
So to start I have prepared a question and answer session with myself. Don't worry I haven't got multiple personalities.
Q. Why as a so called software engineer (SE) have you used the google blogging site rather than create your own site using this or that blogging software?
A. Okay I'm a bit lazy... also on a more serious note I think there is a mindset amongst many SE to always go and reinvent the wheel. If google are providing this (seems to be decent) service free of charge then why should I mess around with my own site :).
Q. What is this blog for? Do we really need to hear the rantings of another person?
A. Well I want to use this to share my experiences of Software Development.. and hopefully these will help other SE solve there issues. Also, I want to add some more real life examples of using analysis and design to build "quality" software. It seems that there is a real lack of blogs that tackle this subject.
Q. Who are you and why should we listen to you?
A. I am a Senior Software Engineer who is currently working for a small expense managment firm in Manchester, UK. Before this role I was working for large firms in the Pharmaceutical sector. I am currently working with C# and ASP.NET and have previous experience working with Delphi and Java. Through all my career (6 years) I have used UML and Oracle Databases. I have also been involved in training SE in UML and Object-Oriented analysis and design.
In answer to the other question... errr... you don't have to listen to me if you don't want to :)
