A fix to run Typemock Isolator inside the Page_Load for an ASPX page on VS2010/.NET4

I recently tried to use Typemock Isolator inside a ASP.NET page load event, to fake out some SharePoint SPLists e.g. protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { SPSite fakeSite = Isolate.Fake.Instance(); …….. } This has worked in the past but using VS2010RC and Isolator 6.0.1.0 it failed.

VHD boot and c00002e2 Errors

For some reason that is beyond me now I did not setup my Lab Manager test system to be a VHD boot. So before installing the 2010 RC version I decided to P2V this system (on the same hardware) to make backups easier whilst testing. All seemed to go well I used IMAGEX to create a WIM of the disk Created an empty VHD Used IMAGEX to apply the WIM to the VHD Formatted the PC with a default Windows 7 install Added a VHD boot Windows Server 2008R2 to the PC, tested this all booted OK Replaced the test VHD with my own and rebooted …....
