Public bug reported:

Hi NUnit,

Use of the TestCaseSourceAttribute together with yield is a great way to
generate test vectors. However, in some cases, a certain test may have
multiple categories applied, in my case for example
'SerialPortAIsAvailable' + 'SerialPortBIsAvailable' +
'SerialPortsAreInterconnected'. This currently cannot be achieved using
.SetCategory() because that method only takes a single string as an
argument. I therefore suggest to either provide a .SetCategory() method
that takes a string array as an argument, or the add a new method
.SetCategories() that does the same.

Example code:
foreach (KeyValuePair<TransmissionType, string> kvp in TransmissionTypes.GetItems)
{
    yield return (new TestCaseData(kvp.Key, SingleLineCommand, 1).SetCategory(kvp.Value).SetName(kvp.Key + "_SingleLineTransmission"));
    yield return (new TestCaseData(kvp.Key, DoubleLineCommand, 1).SetCategory(kvp.Value).SetName(kvp.Key + "_DoubleLineTransmission"));
   yield return (new TestCaseData(kvp.Key, DoubleLineCommand, 2).SetCategory(kvp.Value).SetName(kvp.Key + "_DoubleLineDoubleTransmission"));
   ...

Currently using:
> NUnit 2.5.10 (not yet upgraded to 2.6.2 due to the fact that the upgrade lead to issues with .NET 3.5)
> Gui Runner

Best regards & Thanks a lot for NUnit being such a great tool!
