Solution 1

The different types of test projects are designed specifically for the different languages. You can only use one of the options that target C++.

what's the difference between managed and native unit testing ?

Richard MacCutchan 28-Aug-18 11:40am

C#, VB.NET, C++/CLI are all managed code. They compile into MSIL pseudo-code and can only run under the .NET framework. See Compiling to MSIL | Microsoft Docs[^].

C and C++ are 'native' code. They compile to actual machine code instructions, which will be executed by the hardware.

"unit test" and "native" works the same way ?

Richard MacCutchan 28-Aug-18 13:56pm

Sorry, I don't understand. The word 'native' applies to the compiled code. The term 'unit test' applies to testing, which is a separate issue.
