[Charlie Poole <charlie@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is a planned feature for NUnit 3.0 - see
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nunit-3.0/+spec/silverlight-3.0-build.
(We'll update this to support Silverlight 4.0 as well)

We won't be adding a Silverlight framework build to NUnit 2.x, but 2.6
will support use of the 2.0 framework.

Help is certainly needed! Contact me offline if you would like to work
on this.

Bug description:
Silverlight support for nunit.  I don't know if its possible to do a GUI integration, but at least modify the nunit.framework to be compilable on Siliverlight, while working on full the framework as well.  

That should be enough to so that nunit could be integrated into ms's silverlight testing tool.  

the main things that prevent this currently is the use use of ArrayList, ListDictionary, SerializationAttribute, and xml and binary serionalizers as well as the threading (Apartment isn't in Silverlight threading).  

I know that these are probably needed for backwards maintainability for 1.1,1.0, but some of them just need to be changed to their System.Collections interface and then instantiated differently depending on the compilation.   

I don't mind helping with this aspect, if needed.  

I also realize there is an nunitlite, but I don't know how well that currently integrates with testdriven.net and other test runners.
