Testing code snippets for Visual Studio

October 30th, 2009

If you create many test classes and test methods you probably repeat some code many times.
Here are some code snippets that I use every day at work, feel free to modify them if you want.

I have been busy for the last few weeks so no interesting posts had appeared. Sorry for that But there there is something for my polish readers - two podcasts (polish only) which I have recorded with my friends recently. Podcasts are about games of course and are strongly related to Polygamia forum users

Here’s the official forum topic:

log4net - Exception renderer

June 12th, 2009

If you use log4net you have probably noticed that this logger does not write information from exception's "Data" property. Here is the renderer which does:

PLAIN TEXT

C#:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using log4net.ObjectRenderer;
namespace SomeNamespace
{
public class ExceptionRenderer : IObjectRenderer
{
#region IObjectRenderer Members
public void RenderObject(RendererMap rendererMap, object obj, TextWriter writer)
{
if (rendererMap == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("rendererMap");
}
if (obj == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("obj");
}
if (writer == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("writer");
}
if (obj is Exception)
{
Exception ex = (Exception)obj;
writer.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
if (ex.Data.Count> 0)
{
writer.WriteLine("Exception Data:");
}
foreach (string key in ex.Data.Keys)
{
writer.WriteLine("\t {0} = {1}", key, rendererMap.FindAndRender(ex.Data[key]));
}
}
else
{
throw new InvalidOperationException(string.Format("Object of type {0} cannot be rendered with ExceptionRenderer", obj.GetType()));
}
}
#endregion
}
}

and the configuration needed for this to work is:

PLAIN TEXT

XML:

<log4net>
...
<renderer renderingClass="SomeNamespace.ExceptionRenderer" renderedClass="System.Exception" />
...
</log4net>

Sample output for NullReferenceException with Data["configPath"] = "myconfig.config":

2009-06-12 22:22:04,038 INFO  [LoggerTest.Program] - Exception during init
System.NullReferenceException: Something was null
   at LoggerTest.Program.Main(String[] args) in G:\C#\Temp\LoggerTest\Program.cs:line 26
Exception Data:
         configPath = myconfig.config

Feel free to use and modify it.
