Re: Passing parameters to NUnit

I like the convention that NCover uses - a double slash to specify NCover command line parameters, and a single slash to specify any command line parameters that you like to pass to a module it's loading.

Alternatively, we can have NUnit to ignore any double slash command line parameters. This way, it's fully backward compatible, and people don't have to change the current usage. 

For example, to start a test:
  nunit-console NUnitDemo.dll /run=STR /err=STR //myparameter:abc

And then, from the test code I can do this:

[TestFixtureSetUp]
public void setup(){
  string[] args = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs();
  foreach (string arg in args)
  {
    // process my command line arguments
    if (arg.Contains("//"))
      // do something
  }
}

Thanks
