Re: [Nmock-general] mocking members from base interfaces

[Jim A. <jim...@ho...>]

I generally extend Assertion too.  On putting test methods inside the class 
under test - a nested class makes this slightly cleaner.  Nested classes 
have full access to private members of the containing class, so you can have 
internal tests without bloating your public interface.

In C# v2, Partial Types will be really useful for testing.  You can have 
test methods in a separate file which only gets compiled-in for test builds.
