Here is an example:

   FileNotFoundException ex = new FileNotFoundException( "invalid path", "/path/to/nowhere" );
   Console.WriteLine( ex );
   Assert.DoesNotThrow( delegate { throw ex; }, "file test" );

The Console.Write displays:

   System.IO.FileNotFoundException: invalid path
   File name: '/path/to/nowhere'

The Assert.DoesNotThrow() displays:

   file test
   Unexpected exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException

I think the details of the exception are important for debugging an
application.

Title:
  Feature: Assert.DoesNotThrow() needs exception details

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework:
  New

Bug description:
  NUnit 2.5.10 11092 (Windows)

  When Assert.DoesNotThrow() actually does throw an Exception, the
  Errors and Failures window of the GUI does not show any details about
  the exception.  Rather, it just shows the provided text parameter and:

  Unexpected exception: NUnit.Framework.AssertionException

  It would be handy if the Assert would also show details about the
  Exception being thrown.  Otherwise, test code has to be changed to
  find out what went wrong.

  Thanks.
