I coded a custom Membership provider and I want to run some Unit tests

  • 0

I coded a custom Membership provider and I want to run some Unit tests against it. However, whenever I create a “Test” project, I can’t access MembershipCreateStatus. You may know that this is a type on an out parameter for CreateUser.

I am using VS2010 Ultimate and just can’t seem to grasp why, even when I add a reference to System.Web (and for good faith a reference to all the libs in the membership provider project), I can’t access it.

Is there something preventing it from being used in Test projects?

I am targeting 3.5 Framework.

Thanks!

    Ok figured it out…

    System.Web.ApplicationServices.dll has a System.Web.Security namespace within it which contains the enum.

    MSDN still lists it being in System.Web.dll for 3.5 framework (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.security.membershipcreatestatus(v=VS.90).aspx)

    However, I just noticed VS2010 doesn’t let you create any 3.5 framework unit tests, they force 4.0 so that’s why the difference. My membership is a 3.5 where the Enum is in System.Web and the unit test is force to 4.0 where it’s in System.Web.ApplicationServices.

    Is there a reason we can no longer create 3.5 unit tests in VS2010?

    Thanks for anyone who looked at this.
