There are some cases where it is necessary to suppress IDE compiler warnings that apply to the entire project. This can be warnings that occur several times across the source files. Or, it can be for a compiler warning that the project’s framework target is ...

If the compiler is giving you warnings about nullable reference types, then you may need to enable nullables in the csproj file. This can happen when you declare a public class property, like this: public TaskConfigBase? ConfigBase { get; set; } Sin...

Sometimes, a unit test needs to ensure a particular exception type occurs. Here’s how to check that a particular exception and message occurs. The catch is that, when executing code inside a unit test framework, such as MSUnit, any exception thrown by code i...

When writing unit tests, it’s good to standardize as much as possible.This includes the method signature for each test cases, such as this: // Test_1_1_1 Describe the test... [TestMethod] public async Task Test_1_1_1() { // Do some testing... ... ...

Since we have some libraries that still output to NET Framework targets, some workarounds are required because of some design choices that have been made in the MSTest library and Test Explorer. MSTest Project Styles (SDK vs Non-SDK) NOTE: This only applies ...

Here’s some notes on the limitations imposed by IOS for Xamarin and MAUI applications. These apply to both Xamarin and MAUI apps written for iOS. Basically, the iOS kernel prevents any application from generating dynamic code at runtime. So, any usage of JI...
