1Can you define native code more explicitly? Are you talking about C++ code where you have the headers and the libraries, the source code, or ... – wheaties Oct 06 '10 at 21:14

As of VS2010, native C++ unit testing is not directly supported by Visual Studio. See MSDN, specifically:
You cannot have test projects with unit tests that use unmanaged C++.
You can still do native C++ unit testing with Visual Studio, but it won't be as integrated as other VS features. See this SO answer for a number of native unit testing frameworks and libraries. I have not used any of those, so I cannot give any guidance there.

I would bite the bullet, download Boost and get the test suite compiled. Once you get into it, it's as easy as VS tests.

Or if you don't want to pull in boost (which is great BTW) go for UnitTest++. – oz10 Oct 06 '10 at 21:50
