Damn it, this really sucks. Tag's Trance was one of my favorite streams. RIP. :(

I would but January 23, 2002 - last update?? Will it work with Build 3705 (final)? [Sam Gentile's Radio Weblog]

Yes, as indicated by this news bit, v0.85 was built against the RTM framework. I also just verified this by checking the assembly manifests for the DotNetUnit.Framework.dll assembly and MetaUnit.Framework.dll assembly. They both contain the following reference to mscorlib.dll:

<codeSnippet language="CIL">
  assembly extern mscorlib
  {
    .publickeytoken = (B7 7A 5C 56 19 34 E0 89 )                         // .zV.4..
    .ver 1:0:3300:0
  }
</codeSnippet>

Which does indeed match the 3705 mscorlib:

<codeSnippet language="CIL">
  .assembly mscorlib
  {
    .ver 1:0:3300:0
  }
</codeSnippet>

This is a problem that has come up a couple times before on the DOTNET list. Joe already found the solution for disabling resolution, but the real power of XmlResolver is that you actually create your own custom implementation that can redirect to locally cached copies of the schemas.
