Re: Assume

That makes perfect sense!  I forgot about NUnit handling the exception 
and was trying to come up with a way that you could implement it 
yourself...and actually you can.  Truth be told though NUnice should be 
able to do that, and I like the concept.  I can't think of a particular 
situation where I would use it, but I'm sure it could come up!  For the 
record, as I'm sure you know, you can implement ExpectedException with 
your own Try/Catch, and that was the pattern I was using.  One good 
thing about rolling your own ExpectedException, you can pinpoint/direct 
exactly which line of code throws the exception with your own 
try/catch.  ExpectedException cannot do that.

I see this as sort of the [Explicit] attribute with parameters:)
