Is it possible to launch unit test(s) using DBGCLR as the debugger instead of using the integrated debugger?

I've successfully tried putting an InputBox() prompt in a test and manually attaching then, but I wondered if it could be configured somehow. Also, with that method none of my breakpoints set in the IDE get transferred over to DBGCLR (something that may be impossible, I realize).

This is not supported in SharpDevelop and I'm not sure if it is possible at all. You can pass the name of the file to debug as a command line parameter to DbgClr but other command line parameters seem to be ignored. The best way to do what you want is to keep DbgClr running and have it debugging the GUI nunit.exe. You can then build the code inside SharpDevelop and run the tests inside nunit.exe and debug the code. This is not as integrated as you want but I think it is about as close as you can get.
