Test To See If One Object Is Similar To Another Without Testing Each Property?
Jun 9, 2011
Object.Equals I can understand but has anyone got or written an Object.Similar function? I want to test every property and value of two objects to see if they are similar or not,I can understand we can have say two red Ferrari cars but they can not occupy the same space in the same universe!!However they could look similar / identical in every other aspect. I know two cars don't make one object so they are NOT equal.In a similar fashion at run time we could put two Button1 buttons on a Form but they could have separate locations. I want to test two objects that only have the PROPERTY of color or a set of other similar simple properties.How can I test to see if one object is similar to another without testing each property,[code].....
I've set up a test database to begin unit-testing an app that I've recently been added to. It is a 3-tier design (presentation layer, BOL and DAL) and this is my first time writing unit tests. I've decided to start at the BOL and I figure the best way is to swap out the ConnectionString (which has been passed along as a Shared String) with one that points to my new test database. However, I don't wish to change any production code. I simply wish to somehow redirect the app to the test database during unit tests.
I have been reading some articles on unit testing but I still have some questions.
- What should be tested if we want to test if an entity can be saved or not? - Should we test each and every property of the entity? - If I have a solution consisting or 3 projects, will the unit test go become the 4th project?
Im making basic application for the purpose of testing the object... Basically when i press the button it sends the info to a 2nd form... when i do the date of registration is set automatically. However the date displays correctly but not the time 12:00:00 no matter what...
I'm using Access 2010 and would like to know if there is a way to test whether a command button's visible property is True or False? If there is, am I right to suppose it would be the same for any control?
I am tightening up my coding with the Option Strict set to ON. It has now produced alot of errors. An example of this is:
If AllocatedDGV.Rows(i).Cells("RoomNumber").Value = RoomsAvailableDGV.Rows(j).Cells("RoomName").Value Then
It gives me the following error: Option Strict On disallows operands of type Object for operator '='. Use the 'Is' operator to test for object identity.
I need to write an interface to get data to/from our data files.
We have a low level class that holds field values for each record read from the files.
This just holds two values, the value read from the file (DBValue) and the updated value that may need to be written back to the file (CurrentValue).
These values may be any of the standard value types (integer, date etc) or a string.
Either value (DBValue or CurrentValue) may be null if not defined.
I have written the class to manage this data which works fine while option strict is NOT on.
But we have an office policy of having option strict on all the time.
When I put option strict on, my object value comparisons fail with the error: "Option Strict On disallows operands of type Object for operator '='. Use the 'Is' operator to test for object identity."
Question, how should I change the following code to handle option strict on ...
I'm looking into adding some unit tests for some classes in my data access layer and I'm looking at an update routine that has no return value.It simply updates a row based on the id you provide at whichever column name you provide.Inside of this method, we collect the parameters and pass them to a helper routine which calls the stored procedure to update the table.Is there a recommended approach for how to do unit testing in such a scenario?
I searched on the forum / Internet for the solution how a PropetryInfo object (of a Public property) can reveal if it has a Private Protected Setter ... it was all in vain .... all help I found was about how to "Set" value of a public property having a Private Setter.I would like to know if I have a PropertyInfo object of a public property, how would I know if its Setter is Non Public?
I tried, in a exception handling block, where I did a GetValue of the PropertyInfo object and then called SetValue by setting the same value back... but to my surprise it worked well and didn error out.
I need to be able to tell if a property is of type List(of T)but am currently unable to. if i do
TypeOf (UpdateTo.GetType.GetProperty(node.Name)) Is System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Object)
I get the following error
TypeOf (UpdateTo.GetType.GetProperty(node.Name)) Is System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Object) Expression of type 'System.Reflection.PropertyInfo' can never be of type[code]......
I use VS team system 2008. At the moment i need to test some business classes, i have found two kinds testing NUnit and the unit testing provided by the VS team system. what are there differences?
on a Windows Form, an object myObject is bound to myObjectDataBindingSource like this:myObjectDataBindingSource .DatSource = myObject on the form, i have a check box bound to the property: chkProp1 for example of the object: myObjectDataBindingSource In the code when the checkbox is clicked, I need to go in code and change another text property of the object txtProper2 for example like this:
Private Sub chkProp1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles chkProp1.CheckedChanged
I have a listbox of a object called Account, which has 2 fields, password, and username. How can I compare a New Account to all the accounts in the list and see if the password matches?
I'm building an Active Directory wrapper in VBNET 2.0 (can't use later .NET) in which I have the following:
IUtilisateur IGroupe IUniteOrganisation
These interfaces are implemented in internal classes (Friend in VBNET), so that I want to implement a façade in order to instiate each of the interfaces with their internal classes. This will allow the architecture a better flexibility, etc.Now, I want to test these classes (Utilisateur, Groupe, UniteOrganisation) in a different project within the same solution. However, these classes are internal. I would like to be able to instantiate them without going through my façade, but only for these tests, nothing more.
I know how to handle a single objects property changed event very easily. I want to handle a objects property changed event that is part of another object.
Given Object:
[ObjectY = Y] + Public WithEvents X As ObjectX
I would like to do something like:
Private Sub XPropertyChanged() Handles Y.X.PropertyChanged
Right now I need to create a object that equals the object inside that object and then handle this variable pointers property changed, but that is just annoying.
I use the IsAssignableFrom-method to check if the datasource of a bindingsource-object implements an interface i defined. The check happens inside the property-setter like this:
Private WithEvents _BindingSource As BindingSource ''' <summary> ''' BindingSource containing datasource in which search is executed. ''' </summary> ''' <remarks>Datasource must implement ISearchAndFindable.</remarks> <Description("The BindingSource to search within."), Category("Data")> _ Public Property BindingSource() As BindingSource [Code] .....
Private Sub cbxSubject_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cbxSubject.SelectedIndexChanged Select Case cbxCategory.SelectedItem
[code]....
I get this error message:Option Strict On disallow operands of type Object for operator '='. Use the 'Is' operator to test for object identity.But I don't know how to correct this.
I'm checking If a border's child property is not set to nothing or equal to a given element, but whenever I run the program, it says that it's set to nothing and crashes. Here's my code:
If Not Me.Child.Equals(Nothing) Then ... If Me.Child.Equals(value) Then ...
Both gives an error. What should I do to pass these lines? Also in C# it would look like this:
if(this.Child != null) ... if (this.Child != value) ...
I have a class that has a property that I declare like this:
VB.NET Private _DirectoryList As List(Of FileDirectoryInfo) ''' <summary> ''' Array of directories. ''' </summary> ''' <value>Object</value> ''' <returns>Directory array list</returns> ''' <remarks>N/A</remarks> Public Property Directory As List(Of FileDirectoryInfo) Get Return _DirectoryList End Get Set(ByVal value As List(Of FileDirectoryInfo)) _DirectoryList = value End Set End Property
After reading all the examples for list of T exists and Find and find first, none show how to handle multi-property objects. Below is bare bones example maybe someone could flesh out to show how this should be done.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim DatePriceList As New List(Of DateAndPrice) DatePriceList.Add(New DateAndPrice(Date.Parse("1/1/2000"), 10.12)) DatePriceList.Add(New DateAndPrice(Date.Parse("1/2/2000"), 11.12))
I know how to check whether an item exists in a list using (MyList.Contains), But I do not know how to check the whole list. For example (use one button and one richtextbox):
I have a qeustion where i made a function that changes the property value of an object. the objects + alias are stored in an array (Objects()) , if the var (NewValue) has a value then it checks the property type and converts the Newvalue and inputs it.
I'm currently writing a HMI for an automated machine in VB.Net 2010. I have a custom class that turns a Border green or red depending on the value of an input on a remote I/O module.
The connection to the remote I/O module is through a COM object provided by the manufacturer. I have three remote connections, lets' call them g1, g2, and g3. They're of type Manufacturer.ConnectionObject.
I would like to specify, using a property that I can set in XAML, that instances of MyCustomBorder use g1, g2, or g3. Unfortunately, setting up a Property called g and typing 'g1' into the property field results in the message "Property value is not valid. Details: Property 'g' does not support String to Value conversion."
[code...]
I need to implement a converter between String and the custom class, Manufacturer.ConnectionObject, but I have no idea how to accomplish this, especially since Manufacturer.ConnectionObject is part of a closed-to-me COM object.
I want to create a class that inherit from a polygon this is not possible because the polygon is not inheritable. I want to create a class that handle a polygon anyway and it behave like a polygon. Wile with the property i can pass the value from the class to the polygon but if I want to do something like
