For some reason I forgot to add the code link. I'll update the post later but for now you can get it here:

I'm getting "The following add-in(s) falied to load" message with the FileGenerator built with the download from this page. I have the latest Reflector version reference (4.2.0.0) as you specified. Any chance there is a newer version of FileGenerator?

Sorry, forgot to mention building with VS 2005 on .Net 2.0

Thanks!

Thanks Jason,

I've recently found myself in the unfortunate position to do this, and your code worked like a charm!

Thank you!

Another thank you from a grateful developer! :)

Thanks Jason - you've solved a problem I've been struggling with for ages. Excellent work.

Jason,
Thanks. Your code was to the solution to NUnit problems I was having and corresponding poor test coverage. After I implemented your solution, I discovered my buddy and Scrum-mate, known in some circles as Super Dave, knows you from Best Buy days. Small world.
Cheers,
Bob.

typo

Kevin Hakanson — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:49:44 GMT

Nice article, but it looks like a small typo in the text (but not the code sample) - an extra y after Activator: Activatory.CreateInstance()

Maybe I will see you at the next Twin Cities Code Camp (if I can make it).

Activatory is now Activator

Thanks for the catch

Does not work :((

Hi,
HttpContext context = (new MockHttpContext(false)).Context;
this works
but this fails
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session["UserName"] = "V.jain";

Any idea how I could accomplish it?

Great stuff

Jason, thanks for this. It works superbly. Have referred to this here

Thanks
Benjy

PS: Vaibhav, after creating the context, just use context.Session.Add() and context.Session["xyz] etc...

Wonderful example

I was sold after adding this unit test (The cache was my key concern.)

[TestMethod]
public void UseCache()
{
HttpContext context = (new MockHttpContext(false)).Context;
context.Cache.Add("test", "test value", null, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1), TimeSpan.Zero, CacheItemPriority.Normal, null);
Assert.AreEqual(context.Cache.Get("test").ToString(), "test value");
Assert.AreEqual(HttpContext.Current.Cache.Get("test").ToString(), "test value");
}

Creating an ApplicationState

Anthony Main — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 14:27:59 GMT

I've been using your MockhttpContext in a few projects as a test base, its awesome good effort!

But in my current application Im trying to test teh Application Context instead of just the session. I've been digging through the reflector classes but can't find how to set the application state the way you set the session state.

Any pointers would be great

That's great, I never thought about Adding Session State to a Mock like that before.
