By the way, thank you guys very much for answering my questions thus
far. They have been very helpful, and I'm making my new journey into
using MbUnit quite public at this point.  :)

Anyway, here's the situation

Visual Studio Test System has been dropped from our testing framework
altogether.  We removed all references and calls from our code.  The
Test View has decided to hang then crash VS 2005 altogether every time
we try to load it... even if we comment out all Test class and test
method attributes.  We can't afford to waste time supporting VSTS
anymore.

The problem is: now we don't have am immediate way to do line-by-line
debugging of our unit tests.  I've been able to create an empty
console project that calls the MbUnit Console as an external program
and do it that way.  However, this method doesn't allow any developer
or tester to download this from depot, run a program, and choose a
test that he or she wants to run at will.  He or she has to hand-edit
the debug properties of the empty console project.

I've downloaded and tried TestDriven.NET, and it just didn't work.  It
was a chore to get TestDriven to allow line-by-line debugging. (Test
With-> Debugger always threw exceptions beyond what was documented.)
More importantly, we have developers on 64-bit versions of Windows XP,
which TestDriven.NET does not support according to its liner notes.
In brief:  TestDriven.NET is not an option.

So, my question is: what now?   All i would need is to create a small
Window App with a simple interface that would allow a user to choose a
test (or tests) to run, the launch a process that would call the
MbUnit Console and pass those filters to the MbUnit Console's
parameters, then line-by-line debug our test assemblies that way.

The problem HERE is: I can't get this external MbUnit Console process
to attach to VS 2005's debugger.  I've been experimenting with calls
available via the Systems.Diagnostics library, but to no avail so far.

Have any of you been able to successfully attach your debugger, via
vode, to an external process that launches the MbUnit Console without
using TestDriven.NET?

Many thanks in advance once again.
