Instead of [SetUp] and [TearDown] in Nunit what is the alternative in Visual Studio Ultimate 2010 Unit Testing. In Nunit you can imagine setup and teardown methods are as constructors and destructors for the tests in our class.

[ClassInitialize] and [ClassCleanup] are run before and after the 'suite' of tests inside the TestClass.
