I need a program that can show me how much time lines took to execute... a
profiler type tool. (for .NET 2.0) anyone know of any good free or cheap
ones? thanks!

btw does anyone use NUnit for regression testing? if so how do you like it?
any free alternatives out there that are better? thanks!

While it can be used, to an extent for regression testing, that is not its
niche. If you are thorough in your unit tests, you can certainly have a good
idea of breaking changes and code quality.

I like nUnit and the newer Visual Studio Team System test "engines".

For true regression testing, I know of none. I have used FITnesse (FIT
Framework upgraded(?)) for acceptance testing. I like Type Mock for
extending Unit Testing. Both NCover and Team System Coverage tool are good
for making sure you are covering code with tests. Currently, QA handles our
regression testing and uses a combination of tools, primarily from Mercury.
