    I have created a unit test project to test a set of libraries that were modified to support metro style apps. Notice that I'm NOT testing a metro style app, just the libraries. Is this even supported?

    My project compiles properly but running it triggers an error related to the unit test project not configured to be a start up project. I have created an empty app and referenced the unit test app but this is not what I had in mind when setting up this project. Please advice.

    Also, when i try debugging my test case I get a crash, related to the executor and memory corruption. Has anyone has any information on this?

    You have to use the Unit Test Library for Metro Style Apps (this is found under the Metro Style Apps node in New Project Wizard), if you are using any of the WinRT API.

    This project template enables your test code to run under the app container used for all WinRT API.
