Last year, as we were preparing to ship the documentation for Team Edition for Testers, we ran the EvenOdd sample (the generic test sample) through FXCop and checked it for security and it failed both tests. We fixed it in both respects, but by that time it was too late to ship it, so we had to remove it from the official product release.

It took a while, but we were able to post the fixed sample to the download site, and you can get to it now. To download the sample, click here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/5/1/251ff798-6cd7-418b-9ae2-81906b0c8ed9/evenodd.zip.EXE

You need this sample when you follow the steps in this walkthrough that teaches about generic tests: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182626(VS.80).aspx.

This sample is referred to from this topic: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms243137(VS.80).aspx. (This still gives a broken link.)

I’m sorry about the months of inconvenience on this!
