Getting started with NSubstitute

Some instructions on how to get you set up and unit testing your .NET code quickly and easily using NSubstitute. 1. Download NSubstitute Obtain NSubstitute from the following download link: https://github.com/nsubstitute/NSubstitute/downloads And extract it to a location of your choice. It is basically a dll file which gets referenced in your Visual Studio .NET project: NSubstitute2 2. Create your Visual Studio project As an easy example we will start with a Console Application: NSubstitute1 3. Write the sample code This is our main program.cs code that implements the unit testing: [code language="csharp"] using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Diagnostics; using NSubstitute; namespace NSubstitute { class Program { class Calc : ICalc { public int Add(int a, int b) { return a + b; } public string Mode { get; set; } public event EventHandler PoweringUp; } static void Main(string[] args) { var calculator = Substitute.For<ICalc>(); calculator.Add(1, 2).Returns(3); calculator.Mode.Returns("DEC"); calculator.Add(1, 2); calculator.Received(1).Add(1, 2); calculator.DidNotReceive().Add(5, 7); Debug.Assert(calculator.Add(1, 2) == 3); Debug.Assert(calculator.Mode == "DEC"); bool eventRaised = false; calculator.PoweringUp += (sender, arguments) => eventRaised = true; calculator.PoweringUp += Raise.Event(); Debug.Assert(eventRaised == true); } } } [/code] And this is the public interface, ICalc, used by the main code: [code language="csharp"] using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace NSubstitute { public interface ICalc { int Add(int a, int b); string Mode { get; set; } event EventHandler PoweringUp; } } [/code] 4. Set the project Reference properties. Right-click your project folder and select References: NSubstitute3 Select the Browse tab and seek out the location of the NSubstitute dll you have extracted and downloaded: NSubstitute4 And that should be all there is too it! Testing your .NET code then becomes a simple matter of making calls to Substitute eg [code language="csharp"] var calculator = Substitute.For<ICalc>(); [/code]

Using the Supervisor Controller Pattern to access View controls in MVVM

As discussed on a StackOverflow post , this is considered bad practice, so only use this when necessary. Step 1: Create a new WPF project Step 2: Add event handling code A number of classes are needed for doing command bindings in MVVM. Create the following classes and add to your Visual Studio project: RelayCommand.cs [code language="csharp"] using System; using System.Windows.Input; namespace SupervisorControllingPattern { public class RelayCommand<T> : ICommand { private readonly Predicate<T> _canExecute; private readonly Action<T> _execute; public RelayCommand(Action<T> execute) : this(execute, null) { _execute = execute; } public RelayCommand(Action<T> execute, Predicate<T> canExecute) { if (execute == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(execute)); _execute = execute; _canExecute = canExecute; ...

Getting started with client-server applications in C++

Image
A demonstration of simple Internet client-server applications in C++ (Linux-based). The client application tries to connect to the remote server application using the IP address of the remote server ('localhost' or 127.0.0.1) and the server port number which defaulted to 1234. The server application listens to port number 1234 for a connection request. When the server application receives the connection request it sends the text message "Hello!\r\n" to the client.

How to send an e-mail via Google SMTP using C#

First things first, some useful StackOverflow links: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9201239/send-e-mail-via-smtp-using-c-sharp https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17462628/the-server-response-was-5-7-0-must-issue-a-starttls-command-first-i16sm1806350 To demonstrate how this is done I first create a new Visual Studio project: Some example code for sending an email via a Google email account (smtp.goolgle.com) - obviously replace this with email / credentials of your own... I put the code within a try-catch block in order to capture any errors that may occur while attempting this. [code language="csharp"] using System; using System.Net; using System.Net.Mail; namespace EmailSmtp { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { try { // Credentials var credentials = new NetworkCredential("someEmail@gmail.com", "somePassword"); // Mail message var ...
