SQL Connection: Burned Again
One of my favorite error messages 
The other day I was burned gain by not being able to connect to SQL Server after monkeying with SSL certs using selfssl. Damned if I didn't already blog about this before. What I learned this time is it isn't enough to just generate a new cert, you have to go back and delete the old ones. The certs that need to be deleted are found in "Local Computer" cert store under Personal.
I've highlited the offending cert in the certificate snapin for MMC below. I like to use "localhost" as it facilitates browsing from the inmgr snap in without having to re-type URLs.
Commerce Server 2007 and Unit Testing
I've long been a fan of NUnit and TestDriven.NET; so much so that I've not been terribly interested in the new testing tools/framework that are provided as part of the new Visual Studio 2008. However I'm getting back into Commerce Server 2007 development again and one of the caveats of that framework is that the framework design does little to support test driven design and or automated unit testing. However I ran across this post which explains how the Team System unit testing system can create an IIS/Commerce context from which unit testing can be performed. To get started I had my "hello world" experience with Team System testing by reading A Unit Testing Walkthrough with Visual Studio Team Test on MSDN.
I'm barely getting started, but I'm looking forward to digging into unit testing and Commerce Server development.
