For my data-driven tests and fixtures, I can see that using the ParamterProvider lets me re-use code (I can lose my DynamicTestMethod which derives from NUnitTestMethod), but for my theory extension, I need to create a new TestMethod anyway - not just for the parameters, so it is worth me going to the efforts of using a parameter provider?
 
Will it give me anything different - it this the way where we'd get the user's test method invoked for all data sets but only display one entry in the tree? (and they'd be able to drill down to see all of the data used in running the test/theory?)
 
Cheers,
 
Gary
