Unit Testing Private Static Methods in C#

I had never needed to unit test a private static class method in C# before, but it turns out that Microsoft created a special object type to handle just such a case.

To test the private static method DetermineFilename (that takes filePath as a string parameter and returns a string) in the FileManager class, do the following:

PrivateType privateFileManagerObject = new PrivateType(typeof(FileManager));
string filename = (string)privateFileManagerObject.InvokeStatic("DetermineFilename", filePath);

Thanks to Venkat for posting this solution on his web site here:

Disable C# “var” Recommendation in ReSharper

by Rob in ,

I have been trying to use type names instead of “var” in my C# code lately.  However, ReSharper wants me to convert every type name in a declaration to “var”.  The squiggles under my type names were driving me nuts, so I decided to dig into the settings to turn this off.

To disable these suggestions, do the following:

  1. Go to the ReSharper menu and select Options…
  2. From the resulting dialog box, select Code Inspection, Inspection Severity.
  3. Select the C# tab and then Language Usage Opportunities.
  4. Set both “Use ‘var’ keyword when initializer explicitly declares type” and “Use ‘var’ keyword when possible” to “Do not show”.
