Problem
BACKGROUND: I have a sqlite file that is marked as COPY in it's properties. When I debug my WinForms application in VS2008 (or run it) it does the right thing and copy it to the debug/run area. QUESTION: When I run unit tests (using VS2008 unit tests) it is not performing this copy. Anyone know how to get this working? So that my sqlite database file will be copied across before VS2008 tries to run the unit tests
