What is the equivalent to JUnit in C#?

I am coming from Java and am currently working on a C# project. What is the recommended way to go about a) unit testing existing C# code and b) accomplishing TDD for C# development?

Also is there an equivalent to EMMA / EclEmma (free yet powerful code coverage tool) for Visual Studio and C# code?

Regarding your question about unit test frameworks:

NUnit 1.0 was a direct port of JUnit. NUnit 2.0 moved away from JUnit syntax in order to take advantage of the .NET platform. xUnit.net is a newer unit test framework (from Jim Newkirk - one of the NUnit 2.0 developers - and Brad Wilson) that states as a goal exposing "advances in other unit test library implementations that have not really surfaced in .NET," which I read as "keeping up with JUnit."

I would highly recommend Gallio (formally mbUnit) for unit testing, and (unfortunately not free) NCover for code coverage.

I'd install:

NUnit for your Unit testing framework http://www.nunit.org/index.php
Test driven.net for runing your tests http://www.testdriven.net/
Rhino Mocks as your mockign framework http://ayende.com/projects/rhino-mocks.aspx

As and aside I find it odd that the NUnit guys seem to be using php to host their homepage...

Unit test framework: NUnit

Unit test runner: Various, but personally I like the one in ReSharper. (ReSharper costs money, but is easily worth it for the various productivity improvements.)

Coverage: NCover (I think this used to be free, but it now costs money. Hmm.)
