Error filtering assertiong is-type does not work properly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In your beta2 version, I can confirm something someone posted to the 
groups.

This will NOT filter the exception:
        <errorFilter>
            <test>
                <is-type binding="BaseException" 
value="System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException" />
            </test>
        </errorFilter>

and this WILL filter the exception:
void ErrorLog_Filtering(object sender, Elmah.ExceptionFilterEventArgs 
e)     
{
    if (e.Exception.GetBaseException() is 
System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException)   
        e.Dismiss();   
}   

To test, just throw an exception from a web application like:
        throw new System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException
("Padding is invalid and cannot be removed");

I setup a test to check this issue. See the attached solution for a complete 
example. It seems that you have a typo in your configuration. The attribute 
that 
specifies the type for the <is-test> element and assertion is called "type" and 
not "value". In other words, instead of:

<is-type binding="BaseException" 
value="System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException" />

It should read:

<is-type binding="BaseException" 
type="System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException" />

You should be able to verify this through the attached solution.

I've changed the status to Invalid for now until proven otherwise.
