I am new to unit-tests. I am about to start working on a big project using C#, VS2010. I was wondering if its a good idea to use test-framework that comes with VS2010, or should I look for third party frameworks.
Thanks

If the reset of the organization you’re in is using MSTest, that’s a good reason to use it. If you are doing this on your own, that reasoning is irrelevant.
For third-party frameworks, nUnit works well with VS2010, and it’s easy to find information on how to use it. It’s the only one I’ve used, since my previous employer didn’t pony up for the MS Test licensing.
The key to using unit test frameworks is learning how to write good tests, not necessarily what tool you use.
For a good overview that uses .NET, I’d recommend Roy Osherove’s book, http://www.manning.com/osherove/
Good luck!
