That is where my journey into the world of .Net with TestPartner, which I dubbed as TestPartner .Net Fusion, comes alive. I am planning on making this as a series of blogs discussing the ins and outs of integrating .Net functionality into TestPartner 6.1.x.

In fact, what we will do is re-implement what's being dicussed in this site into TestPartner. In a nutshell, we want to display an image downloaded automatically from  Space Science and Engineering Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison . We'll grab the latest photo from the east coast of the United States using the System assembly. So let us create a new form in Common project in T
