Just a short post about an issue with an NUnit feature.
It has an assertion called DoesNotThrow that takes a delegate function as an argument. If the delegate throws an exception then NUnit will throw its own exception. The method is great at pointing out exactly where the code under test is. However, if an exception does occur, NUnit reports the exception type, but looses the original stack trace. There have been enough occurrences of lost stack traces that I've stopped using it. Now I just comment the actual test line and let the exception bubble up to the test runner.
