@"SampleClassLibrary.dll");
}
public static void ExecuteTests(string xmlFile, string path)
{
// Read in the methods to run from the XML file.
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument( );
doc.Load(xmlFile);
// Get the tests to run.
XmlNodeList nodes = doc.SelectNodes(@"Tests/Test");
// Run each test method.
foreach(XmlNode node in nodes)
{
// Get the name of the type from the className attribute on Test.
string typeName = node.Attributes.GetNamedItem("className").Value;
