Free tip to use NUnit and Microsoft Unit testing.

Use following as header for your code:

using System;
using NUnit.Framework;

#if VSNET
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTesting.Framework;
#else
using TestMethod = NUnit.Framework.TestAttribute;
using TestClass = NUnit.Framework.TestFixtureAttribute;
using TestInitialize = NUnit.Framework.SetUpAttribute;
using TestCleanup = NUnit.Framework.TearDownAttribute;
#endif

using Assert = NUnit.Framework.Assert;

Define VSNET option in project settings.
Bingo !!
You can use all attributes names from Microsoft (becouse they are more human read-able ;o), but Asserts from NUnit (becouse Microsoft one is more powerfull).

This way you will be able to compile your apps both in IDE (using only Assert from NUnit) and using third-party tools like a NANT without any mentions about VS.NET ;o))

So MS Unit testing is not like NUnit - it's fully compatible with NUnit ;o)
