InternalsVisibleTo and class inheritance

I'm using InternalsVisibleTo attribute to make some internal classes visible to the unit test suite.

While it's allowing me to create instances of internal classes, I cannot create a class that inherits from an internal class.

Is this behaviour expected? If it is, there's some other way to achieve what I want?

Edit: As pointed by @Grant Thomas, I did not say what I want. What I want is to create an instance of an abstract internal class. It's not that class I'm testing, but the class I'm testing have it as a dependency.

You haven't really said what it is that you _do_ want, just a _means_. – Grant Thomas Sep 04 '13 at 17:09
You shouldn't heed to inherit a class in order to test it. – H H Sep 04 '13 at 17:10
@Henk Holterman, the class I want to inherit from is not the class I want to test, it's a dependency. – Doug Sep 04 '13 at 17:15
which assembly houses the inherited type? What is the visibility of that class? It might help to give us a quick gist code snapshots. – Roman Sep 12 '13 at 00:35
