Silverlight Application

To start a coverage run for a Silverlight application

1. Do one of the following:
   • In Visual Studio, press Ctrl+Alt+K K or choose ReSharper | Cover | Cover Application... in the main menu
   • In dotCover standalone application, press Ctrl+Alt+K K or choose File | Cover Application... in the menu.
2. In the Coverage Configuration dialog that appears, choose Silverlight Application.
3. In the Open URL field, type the URL of the Web page where your Silverlight application is hosted. As long as you have PDB information, it is not important whether the Web page is running on the local or a remote server.
4. If necessary, in the Browser drop-down list, change the Web browser that should be used to open the Web page.
   To analyze coverage of a Silverlight Web application, dotCover needs to restart the Web browser process. If your default browser is currently in use, close it or choose another browser.
5. The only place where dotCover can find PDB information of your Silverlight application is an explicitly specified path.
   Click Edit Symbol Search Policy button and specify the path in the Search path field. For more information, see PDB and symbol search policy.
6. Optionally, select the Advanced check box to configure additional settings: Click Edit Filters to view existing and add new coverage filters. Note that the filters you add with this button are only applied to the current session.
7. Click Run. dotCover will open the Coverage Controller dialog and then run the specified Web page with the Silverlight application in the selected Web browser.
8. If the Start immediately check box was selected, the coverage run starts immediately. Otherwise, dotCover waits until you click Start in the Coverage Controller dialog. When the coverage run is started, you can record code coverage.
