Re: TestFixtures not detected in assembly loadedfromnetwork drive [SOLVED]

Off the top of my head... I suppose it would work if you could query
the drive for it's metadata to see if it is remote or not.

If it is, then query the .NET security settings that apply to the
given path, and see if .NET is configured to grant the appropriate
permissions or not.

If not, then you should be able to safely assume that loading the
assembly will not result in access to any of the test cases.

I've speaking in very generic terms, because I haven't looked at any
of the APIs. Good luck to anyone who tries to tackle this!

Cheers,
Eric Mangold
