Rhino-Tools
Ayende’s Rhino-Tools become the most wanted library for my next project, consuming open source library with lack of walkthrough sample/enough test suite is always a painful experience “at the beginning”. It makes me stress for sometime as I can’t find any peer near by to share the experience with and yeah I tell you if you’ve got weak heart and usually depend on external person to walk you through the percentage of success is very low.
“No Pain, No Gain”, although the OSS’s troop are miles aways I’ll keep standing still until my last breath and hopefully, hopefully the support troop would come along.
So on the next day(s) I found the following post appear on the net which help me stand again.
- Painless Persistence with Castle ActiveRecord – watch how Repository can be done.
- MR and Windsor set up screencast – I am not familiar with Binsor just yet this video does help.
- Beginning System.Web.MVC with Rhino Tools, Caslte Active Record and Nhibernate – a good write up about each individual stack, it also mention about Rhino-Tools.
Now I know how to spend my next weekend, thanks to all the good works and the sharing.

I’m just starting that journey too. I just wish I was clever enough to know what to do by just looking at the tests.
Good luck

Anthony, I am glad to hear about your passion. Regarding how to learn new trick from test suite I suggested you to try the following tips:
1. Install Resharper it allow you to navigate through the code faster;
2. Alt + Shift + T and type the name of the class or method that you know it exists in the framework;
3. From the result filter for …Test otherwise select the method/class then use “Find usage …” from Right click on the method/class
hope that would help.
