It depends on your risk-estimation. If you think the private methods are fault-free. => No UnitTest If you think the private methods can have bugs, but the consequences are tolerable. => No UnitTest If you think the private methods can have bugs, but the consequences are NOT tolerable. => Unittest them. Example 1: If you are contributing "private" code to your team and you think some bugs are tolerable => No Unittest. Example 2: If your "private" code controls the cooling-system of a nuclear power-plant and you think the risk of bugs is tolerable => No UnitTest If you consider your question in this way (as I do in practice), the answer is quite easy. If you still don't know what to do, ask your boss, if he accepts bugs in "private" code or not.

It does not help. I was already aware of this :( But thank you very much ! ! ! I searched a lot of links, but all I found is referencing quite old versions of Nunit. I use NUnit.Console-3.7.0. All of my tests are executed "perfectly". The only problem is: Breakpoints are not hit

Based on all of your feedback and some additional search I have the following solution for me I will return a Transaction-Object

struct TransactionResult {
double amountReturned;
EnumTransactionResult eReturn;
}

Some more info: - I have no complicated scenarios as "Pending Transactions" - Of course: I can overdraw the account upto an allowed value, which can be less than zero - This fully fulfills my use-case Thank you for your input. My question is fully answered

I have an Account class, which has a function

double WithDraw(double amountToWithdraw) {
...some code here....
}

If the balance of this account is <= 0, then what should I do? ==> throw an exception (which one?) ==> return 0.0 with some additional information? (in which way?) I guess: a) throwing an exception could be wrong, because this scenario is not "exceptional", but standard b) returning some additional information requires to return a object with additional attributes or a reference to an object in the parameterlist. Seems to be crazy too.

yes, the complete dll-bunch is in one single directory. Together with all pdb's

I cannot debug (set breakpoints,...) my UnitTests with NUnit3. What works already My Test-Dll's contain all the tests. They are executed and the result is displayed correctly in the output-window when I run them with the console-runner. So, the test-setup itself seems to be correct. What I want: I want to DEBUG my tests when they are executed with the console-runner and stop at breakpoints. What I did so far: => I create a Dll, which contains the testcases/-fixtures. => I have set this Dll-Project as startup-project => At Properties | Debug of the Dll-Project I select the console-runner as"Start external Program" and I add the command-line arguments ( my dll ) => I set breakpoints in my test-code => I start a debug-session: The tests are executed, but not breakpoints are hit It seems, I misunderstand some concept completely

It's me again. I created my first asp.net-site, following this link Building your first MVC 6 application — ASP.NET MVC documentation[^] I have no problem with the "Model-View-Controller"-Pattern, but: a) I am intimidated by this enormous bunch of tools I had to setup before the project was built successfully b) there is an endless number of files generated which tells me nothing Finally: I am sure, nobody in this world is able to understand what's going on here :-)

I am developing desktop-apps. Now I want to go to a web-based approach with asp.net mvc as a framework. I want to skip the Silverlight-approach and instead want to do it html5-JScript-based (with asp.net mvc). I do not have such kind of modern high-end-multimedia screens. Instead, my requirement is to keep the "usual desktop like UI" as menues, win-forms, .... for showing things like datagrids Can you give me some hint how to make the first steps? Thank you in advance

First: I am an absolute beginner :-) and I want to learn basics. I have created a Silverlight-App and embedded it in a asp.net MVC page on a WebServer (it works fine). Now I want to do my first steps: Loading an Xml-File from the WebServer into my SilverlightApp, which running in the Browser of a ClientComputer Question: How can I send some "basic kind of request" from the SilverlightApp to the Server to send the xml-file? I surfed a lot in the internet, but I am confused about all of these very complex data-access-possibilities.

I try to explain: This means, that other programs retrive data from different sources, they preprocess it, and store it, e.g. in a database. The web-server now reads the data from this database and presents it to the user

A beginner's problem: I have a asp.net web-site running on a webserver. Additionally, on this server I want to have running some other programs, which generate data as input for this web-site. E.g. such a program/service observes a requirements-database, and generates a report. This report should be the input for the web-site and can then be accessed by users. How can such a szenario be realized?

I rarely found such a good training site in my life Thank you very much

Thanks a lot for these very helpfull information. Much better than what I found so far I have another one :-) The views I found in many examples contain more or less a lot of html-code. Is is possible to use a kind of "graphical html-designer" to create this native code automatically?

I want to start with asp.net mvc and I am absolutely lost with terms and concepts. I work through a lot of microsoft trainings. But all samples mix up endless different concepts and terms. Can somebody give me a link to some kind of "bottom-up-tutorial"?

We just started to setup our CI world with Jenkins. Now we have to create tons of extensions in Java which is really cumbersome as our complete focus is on C#.

For .net developers, there is this quite old CruiseControl available for as CI-Server. Jenkins is somehow now state of the art for Java Development. Question: Is the anything as Jenkins available, based on .net? I talk about freeware?

Dear reader, at startup of my program I want to find all instances/classes, which support an special interface. Example: I have class A, which supports interface "void someFct()" I have class B, which supports interface "void someFct()" At startup of my program, I want to call both functions/interfaces without registering them before. I hope you can understand, what I want? Have a nice day ############### update ######################## I try to describe my problem better My app reads a lot of data-sources and then it executes a list of ReportInstances, where each report creates excel-reports/sheets. This takes roughly 10 minutes. Each individual report checks/validates its input/config/... before it executes its own business-logic. In practice it happens, that in worst case the last report detects an error at its validation and the program stops. This is very annoying. Simplyfied code here:

void CreateReport( params here ) {
CreateReport_1(par);
CreateReport_2(par);
.......
}

My idea is: Do validation, before starting the single reports

Solution 1: Register all validation-delegates and execute them before starting the reports

This kind of code is

void CreateReport( some params ) {
// GetValidationDelegate() are static functions
myValidationList.Add( Reporter_1.GetValidationDelegate());
myValidationList.Add( Reporter_2.GetValidationDelegate());

foreach (validationDelegate in myValidationList) {
      execute validationDelegate;
}

// Validation is done, start now with reports
CreateReport_1(par);
CreateReport_2(par);
.....
}

This is easy, but it has the disadvantage, that each time I add a new reporter I have to change my "registration-code". It is some kind of maintenance problem.

Solution 2: Do it "more automatic", this is what I am looking for

The kind of code I am looking for is

void CreateReport( some params ) {
myValidationList = GetAllAvailableValidationDelegates()
foreach (validationDelegate in myValidationList) {
execute validationDelegate;
}
// Validation is done, start now with reports
CreateReport_1(par);
.....
}

I am looking for the code of "GetAllAvailableValidationDelegates()", which "parses" automatically all available classes/instances in my program and looks for such delegates

...for the moment.... thank you for your kind replies

Dear reader, I am totally new in database-programming. I have available all the standard-books but still, I feel lost in that area. I am working with Sql Server Express-Edition One of my basic questions is: How can I test SQL-commands from any kind of tool. It seems, that the express-edition does not have all the tools installed. Another question is: Is it ok to start programming with "basic Ado.Net" and not focussing on EF or Linq? Best regards

Dear readers, I have a endless loop, which has internal state. How can this be modelled with UML-State-Diagram?

static int state = 0;
void mySstateTest(void)
{
for(;;) {
DoSomeImportantAction();

    if ( 0 == state ) {
        if ( 1 == ReadSomeData() ) {
            state = 1;
        }
    }

    if ( 1 == state) {
        if ( 0 == ReadSomeData() ) {
            state = 0;
        }
    }

}

}

Is there a better place for asking this question Thank you
