NHibernate mapping possibilities

NHibernate mapping possibilities

Comments 5 comments

I prepare currently a new talk about NHibernate. In this talk I’ll show the different mapping possibilities with NHibernate. To demonstrate the three possibilities (and a fourth one) I chose a quite simple model: I implement three classes Cat, Dog and Bird an for each one I chose a different mapping approach. For my little sample application I used NHibernate 2.1.0, NHibernate.Mapping.Attributes 2.1.0 and Fluent NHibernate 1.0.0.545. NHibernate classic style – XML-Files For the class Cat I chose to use…

Why is there no blog entry for the July and for the half of august?

How to structure code in an unit test

How to structure code in an unit test

Comments 3 comments

When you create your unit tests for a method in the SUT (software under test) you will ask yourself how to structure the code in the test method.I saw two kind of syntaxes which help to structure the code in a unit test method (well, actually there are at least three, but the third syntax is just chaos, so this is definitely not the way how to do it). SEVT-Syntax [code language=”csharp”] [TestFixture] public class ThingTest { [Test] public void…
