#31 Can't mock interface with ToString method
I'm new to NUnit/NMock and TDD/Mocking in general, so this may be something stupidly simple that I've overlooked. I get an exception any time I try to mock an interface containing the ToString() method, even if the test itself has nothing to do with the ToString() function. If I comment out this method from the interface, the exception goes away. Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1) Create a new VB.NET Class Library project in VS2008
2) Add a reference to nunit.framework v2.4.8.0 and NMock2.dll 2.0.0.44
3) Add an interface containing a Function ToString() As String method
4) Write a test that mocks that interface.
5) Compile
6) Run the test in Nunit GUI
Here's the exception that is thrown:
System.InvalidProgramException : Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program.
Server stack trace:

Here's my code to reproduce the problem:
Imports NUnit.Framework
Imports NMock2
Public Interface IEntity
Function ToString() As String
ReadOnly Property SomethingUnrelated() As Integer
End Interface
<TestFixture()> _
Public Class EntityTest
<Test()> _
Public Sub ReproduceCLRExceptionTest()
Dim M As New NMock2.Mockery
Dim aMock As IEntity = M.NewMock(Of IEntity)()
Expect.Once.On(aMock).GetProperty("SomethingUnrelated").Will([Return].Value(1))
Assert.IsTrue(aMock.SomethingUnrelated = 1)
M.VerifyAllExpectationsHaveBeenMet()
End Sub
End Class
