I work on a very large application (2+ million lines). The unit test projects are kept in a separate solution that does not also include the projects with the code under test. Is there a way to configure NCrunch to run in this environment?

We use MSTest and we run the tests inside of VS2010. However, there is a lot of "build, switch solutions, run" going on. I thought along the same lines as your suggestion and created a custom solution that included a project and the tests project that covers it. I got wierd results. When I selected "Enable NCrunch" from the NCrunch menu, VS went off into lala land for a while and then came back with nothing. No tests found, nothing in the queue, and no configuration available. Since I have NCrunch working on this machine in a test solution, I'm assuming that something in my solution's configuration is not playing nice with NCrunch?

Unfortunately, the code is in a protected enclave that has not access to the outside world, so I can't send anything from my dev box unless it can be persisted and transferred on physical media to my other network. Can I save the output you are after?

The good news is that, after creating the solution and building it, I closed and re-opened it and NCrunch was smooth like butter. I watch the queue as it worked through a few hundred unit tests in 2 mins 5 sec. It correctly displayed on the test side which passed and which failed, as well as some inconclusive lines (what does black mean on the test-side?).

But it seems to be confused about the code coverage. On the "code under test" side, my parameterless constructor shows as not covered, but I have a unit test covering it. Just for grins, I used "create unit tests" from the VS context menu and added another test covering the constructor, but NCrunch didn't seem to see it.
