Description

From @eeaston:

> Another gotchya I think I’m seeing is that when running the test using out of process mode, I need to do a project->build in visual studio, instead of just running the test and expecting it to do the build for me. If I don’t do this, then it uses the previous built binaries.

If this is tricky to fix we should at least document it in the [Readme](https://github.com/Excel-DNA/DeveloperTools/blob/master/ExcelDna.Testing/Readme.md).

Research direction

Start by reading the OutOfProcess test setup and the ExcelDna.Testing/Readme.md. Reproduce the issue by running an OutOfProcess test without a Visual Studio project-build, then compare the result after building the project. Done means the tests use current binaries automatically, or the required build sequence is clearly documented in the Readme.
