This isn't my cleanest piece of code, but it shows how you can write your own test runner in NUnit (V2.2.8). This is very dull if you don't do coding.
using System ;
using System.Reflection ;
using NUnit.Core.Builders ;
namespace NUnit.Core.Extensions
{ [ AttributeUsage ( AttributeTargets.Method , AllowMultiple = false ) ]
public class VagueExpectedExceptionTestAttribute : Attribute
{ protected Type _exceptionType ;
public string _startsWith ;
public string _endsWith ;
public string _contains ;
public Type ExceptionType
{ get { return _exceptionType ; } set
{ if ( !( value.IsSubclassOf ( typeof ( Exception ) ) ) )
throw new ArgumentException
( "Type must be derived from Exception" ) ;
this._exceptionType = value ;
}
}
public string StartsWith
{ get { return _startsWith ; } set { _startsWith = value ; } }
public string EndsWith
{ get { return _endsWith ; } set { _endsWith = value ; } }
public string Contains
{ get { return _contains ; } set { _contains = value ; } }
}
