Welcome to a short trip to a concrete function of the .Net Framework: Path.GetTempFileName In my current project we have a lot of unit tests where a lot of temp files (created by Path.GetTempFileName) are used and a build server that builds the projects and executes the unit tests. Some week ago we noticed that […]
