Not sure where to start:
I want to verify coverage of the DLL code which is accessed by my 
WPF-IronPython app.
However, dotCover is reporting 0% coverage and all statements are showing as 
RED/uncovered, eventhough all the methods (interface APIs) are called while the 
WPF-IronPython app is running!

I found this documentation regarding dotCover:
dotCover provides coverage analysis of the following types of .NET applications:
*       Standalone applications (.NET Framework 1.0 to 4.0)
*       Silverlight 4 applications
*       ASP.NET WebForms and ASP.NET MVC web applications running under ASP.NET 
Development Server, IIS, and IIS Express
*       Windows services
*       WCF service libraries
*       Windows Store applications (under Windows 8 only)

Just wondering if anyone know if dotCover can provide coverage for 
WPF-IronPython apps too? Or can anyone explain what prevents this from being 
possible?

Cheers,
Jackie

The biggest limitation (right now) is that compiling apps to an .exe has a few 
issues. For simple things it works fine, but it fails in some edge cases that 
aren't clearly defined. If you're not compiling, WinForms works fine but I 
think WPF has some issues. (I'm not a GUI programmer, so I'm not directly 
familiar with how well it works.)

Right now, Metro apps are not possible. The DLR has been ported, but IronPython 
still doesn't compile, and improvements to pyc.py as well (which will also 
benefit Android and iOS to boot).

If you're interested you should track down a copy of "IronPython in Action" by 
Michael Foord[1], which covers GUI programming with WinForms pretty thoroughly, 
and is a great IronPython book in general.
