Unit Testing app_code directory with Visual Studio Professional 2005

I don't have Team System, but I'd like to be able to unit test the code
in my app_code directory using nunit, or something else. Is there any
way to do this? I can't add a reference from another page, and I can't
find the dll for these classes. Thoughts?

Thanks.

Without using a class library project, I think you'd almost have to
put unit tests inside App_Code then use MSBuild to precompile the
application into a known directory and run NUnit against App_Code*
assemblies.

Another option is to use WDP [1], which is a collection of custom
MSBuild tasks for ASP.NET. You can precompile and merge all the
dynamic assemblies into a single .dll. Your NUnit project can
establish a project reference to the WDP project, so the unit tests
can live in a different assembly (which is preferable, IMHO).

Thank you Scott, I think I'll go the separate project route. I just
thought I'd see if there was a simple other option. Appreciate the
input.

I'm trying to convert some ASP.NET projects from 1.1 to 2.0. In the 1.1 version, I used strongly typed datasets a lot, which wont convert. As a workaround, I've created an XSL schema in a seperate project, and used the xsd.exe tool to generate the necesary code. I've got one project that contains both the typed datasets, and the asp.net code. I'd rather not break them into seperate projects (one is easier for debugging). The first...
