I am using Visual Studio Ultimate and I cannot get code coverage data. All of my unit tests pass, and I edited the Local.testsettings file to enable code coverage and configured it to reference the dll of my project. Also the active test setting is set to Local.testsettings and not TracAndTestImpact.testsettings.

I had the same problem. I configured my .testsettings to include code coverage as detailed here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd504821(VS.100).aspx

What I was doing wrong is that I was running the test by pressing F5 in Visual Studio.

What I needed to do was double-click the ".vsmdi" file, which will open the "Test List Editor". Then I clicked the "Run Tests in Current Context" - (Ctrl+R, T) in the Test Code command bar. Code Coverage worked after that.

Hope this helps.
