Tomas, I wrote the NUnitTask stuff originally. I got it to where it is now, decided I didn't know enough about app-domains at the time and kinda backed away from it. I agree we should do the right thing. How many classes would need the serializable attribute ? Do derived classes automatically inhereit it ?
