'Description' parameter in both TestAttribute and TestCaseAttribute is not allowed

[rnovoselov]

To reproduce create a test method like this:

[Test(Description = "descr1"),
 TestCase("test", Description = "descr2")]
public void Test(string s)
{
}

In such a case loading the result test assembly into NUnit GUI causes the following exception:

--------

As any of the 'Description = "..."' arguments is removed everything is OK again.

Is this in one of the releases or in the latest source?

[rnovoselov (r-novoselov)]

It's the version number 2.5.3.9345.

This bug is actually the same as #490679 even though they refer to different attributes. Both of them are PropertyAttributes.
