Selenium 2 in .NET framework

My name is Zac and I have several years of automated testing experience with Selenium RC in Java and C# and am now intending to be one of the early adopters of Selenium 2 using the .NET version.
Selenium 2 and .NET are up to alpha4 already but thorough examples of code on the internet are a bit thin on the ground so far compared to the Java equivalent. In my time using Selenium RC and now Selenium 2 I have built up a framework to support it.
I consider it to be an intermediate-level framework for using Selenium 2, NUnit and the Page Object model together so some advanced users might find it a bit basic. You may have even seen some of these concepts as snippets on testing blogs around the place. But overall it offers a framework from which to develop an easily maintainable suite of tests using the Page Object model (which is now considered to be the best practice for Selenium 2). If you already have a suite of Selenium tests in flat files that is spiralling in size and you are looking to make it more durable and more efficient then this could suit you.
With this blog post I intend to step through and get you started with this framework.
