Hello,

I'm working on a project where we use a console-based functional test engine to make sure that key use cases work.  Most of this involves working with business objects that are fairly self contained and are DNN-agnostic, however!

... one of the things that the client needs is a "renew subscription" module.  They keep track of their subscriptions via the expiration date of a DNN role.    The code was working in 4.0.3, but is broken in 4.3.4.  -- mostly because they bypassed the DNN API and went directly to calling stored procedures.

What I would like to do is rewrite it using the DNN API's, however, i'd also like to keep the functional test around the whole thing.  As the functional tests run under a console application, i'm wondering if its possible to reference and use DNN API libraries from a console app?

To try to be more clear -- the console app would do something like this:

- read configuration for "which user to use" (test user)
- clear and reset the user with almost expiring roles
- call the business logic that renews the roles  <-- same as called by UI
- check that everything worked ok.

If anybody has any experience this this, please let me know!  In the mean time, i'm off to go experiment.
