Run tests in 64-bit

Question

I got a ADO.NET driver which is compiled as 64-bit. I therefore need to run mstests in 64-bit mode. Is that possible?

(the dev machine is 64bit).

Answer 1

Visual Studio has a built in option for this. It was a bit hard to find (if you do not know where to look).

Doubleclick on the local.testsettings file in Solution Explorer and select Hosts in the listbox. Then change as the image shows.

You must do your tests in a 64-bit OS and your application should be compiled with AnyCPU.
