Using MOQ to mock a MessageBox

[huntantr]

I'm new to using MOQ and I need to mock the C# MessageBox class. I'm
trying to test a method that displays a message under certain
conditions. During our automated build, I don't want this message to
appear.

Any guidance on this would be appreciated.


Thanks.

make up an IDialogService thinghy that is implemented using a messagebox in normal runs, but is mocked to do nothing on test runs.

Daniel is right. Does anyone know of a standard set of facades for people to consume? file system access is a continuous problem. I'd love to stop writing wrappers

[Daniel Cazzulino]

There should be a netfx for that :)

hehe

(and in one project I got THIS close to it by having T4 templates generate the wrappers using Reflection over the actual System.IO types.... )

Kzu,

Would you mind pulling those into github under the moq organization? I would love to promote it.

yup, thinking that it might be a better fit... specially if I could get something like this worked out... http://kzu.to/Kwfi41

Yeah, I remember talking about that a while ago. It's an excellent idea.

The root problem is trying to get developers to contribute back to OSS projects. I'm taking quite a different approach by starting a meetup group in Boulder, Colorado for getting people comfortable with contributing to open source projects through hands-on mentorship & pair programming. If anyone knows of some open space we can use in Boulder, please let me know!
