• Rhino Mocks and mocking Out/Ref params

  I thought I would share a little nugget of greatness with RhinoMocks .  Today I was in the process of mocking out a webservice call for an application I was working on.  But the method I wanted to mock took a out parameter in its signature. ...

• Testing controller actions inside ASP.Net MVC

  ***** DISCLAIMER ***** The techniques and information here were not all thought up by me. I got a lot of this from Scott Hanselman's screencasts, and at looking at other MVC projects.

• Mocking Voids with LastCall and RhinoMocks

  When following TDD, using mocking tools like RhinoMocks ( here ) or NMock ( here ) is a critical part of the process.

• HowTo: Setting Expectations on Stubs using RhinoMocks

  When using a mocking tool like RhinoMocks, one of the features that it can provide is the ability to A) create a stub of an object and B) set expectations on Method/Property calls that are part of that method. Doing this is pretty easy, but like all things... Posted Jul 25 2007, 07:29 AM by Derik Whittaker with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: .Net, Rhino Mocks, Best Practice, HowTo

• Using RhinoMocks with StructureMap to mock expected calls

  What do you do when you are writing a test for a piece of code that calls out to an ‘out of your control’ service such as a web service or email server?

• Mocking a Web Service Proxy

  Today I finally had to create a mock of a web service proxy, what fun. Of course the first go at it failed because I did not think about the fact that the web service proxy is NOT serializable. This sucked, so what was I to do. Well, fortunately for me... Posted Jul 05 2007, 08:09 AM by Derik Whittaker with | with 3 comment(s) Filed under: Agile, .Net, TDD, Rhino Mocks

• Rhino Mocks vs NMock: Part 1, Stubs

  Over the past few months I have really started to believe in the use of Mocks. When I first started using mocks, I started with NMock (mostly because that is what we had at work).
