webservice facade

[splendid9]

hello all,

i am wrinting unittest for my webservice facade, i could not directly pass the object that i am passing in my original webservice facade in my unit test, so i am trying to create a mock object(class which contains all the properties that are used by my original facade) and pass that into my unit test method, but i dont know how to do that, i mean how to create a mock object uin my unittest and pass that in my unittest method, could anyone please help me out pleasee...!!!

Create a test project that will contain your test fixtures and your mock classes/objects. Create a mock class that implements that same interface as your current class. In your test new up the mock object and set values for all of the properties you will need to complete your test.

thank you very much for your reply !!!

yeah i did that, i have created a test project-added a new class which contains all the properties as in my original facade(mockclass.cs)-created a new method which calls my original method and in that method
1) i have created an instance for my facade
2) instance for the mock object(mockclass.cs)
3) given all the data for the properties that i have in mockclass.cs
4) Finally call the original method from the facade and pass instance of mockclass.cs

OK now in the last line of code facade.originalmethod(mockclass) -
Argument type mockclass is not assignable to parameter type original Object in my facade ..error...that is my problem,,did i make it clear for you..?? could you help me out pleasee

If you could post your test and any information regarding the properties of your current class that would help. Have you stepped through your test using a debugger to see where the invalid cast is occurring?

What does originalmethod do? Can you just new up an instance of object (not mock object) and do assertions on what originalmethod returns with object as a parameter. I think in this instance you may be trying to use a mock object when you don't need to.
