Enum2 { get ; set ; }            public FlagsEnum FlagsEnum { get ; set ; }      }   Enum as Dropdown List   < div class ="form-group">           @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Enum1, new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })           < div class ="col-md-10">               @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Enum1)               @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Enum1)           </ div >       </ div >         < div class ="form-group">           @Html.LabelFor(model =>...

Have you ever thought how easy would it be if we could pass parameters and expected result to a Unit Test method we have rather writing multiple test methods. It is possible now with NUnit 2.5 “ TestCase ” Attribute. Suppose you have a method to test whether a year is a leap year or not which you want to test by passing different values here is the solution. [TestCase(2000, Result = true)] [TestCase(1996, Result = true)] [TestCase(2013, Result = false)] public bool IsLeapYearTest(int year) { return DateTime.IsLeapYear(year); } and if you want to pass multiple parameters just add them comma seperated as below example. [TestCase(12, 3, Result = 4)] [TestCase(12, 2, Result = 6)] [TestCase(12, 4, Result = 3)] public int DivideTest(int n, int d) { return (n / d); } This helps us to provide test methods with parameters as well as providing inline date to be ...
