How to test Assert for base class exception implementation using Microsoft Unit testing framework?

Question

Here is specific case. I want to test this Assert.ThrowsException<DbException>(() => { MyMethod(0, 100); });

The problem is that exception thrown is SqlException. Why do I want to test base exception? Because I want a unified test for any of my 3 DB providers. The exception sometimes is OracleException or MySqlException. All 3 providers exceptions derive from DbException

Is there a way to test it nicely, using the Microsoft Unit Test framework?

Thanks for all the leads, one from @StephanAdler

Considering limitations of given testing framework my sensible solution was this

Exception retEx = null;

try
{
    MyMethod(0, 100);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    retEx = ex;
}

Assert.IsNotNull(retEx);
Assert.IsInstanceOfType(retEx, typeof(DbException));

Assert.IsInstanceOfType works perfectly with the base type
