TypeMock Reserved Types

I read in the forum that there is some "Reserved" system types that cannot be mocked. Can we have the list?

Hi,
As you said there are some reserved types, these are from the System namespace. We are working on a version that will enable to mock these types too. In the meantime, I will try to make a list for you. This also depends on the Testing Framework that you are using, can you please tell me what famework you are using.

Thanks Scott,

I am using NUnit version 2.2 for my tests.

Hi Benjamin,

Currently TypeMock.NET cannot mock types from precompiled assemblies. :cry:
These assemblies will be supported in a future version :D

A precompiled assemby is actually native code. To precompile an assembly use the NGEN command.
Using precompiled assemblies will make the code run faster as there is no need to compile MSIL to native code.


Here is a list of microsofts precompiled assemblies. (found by running ngen /show)
:arrow: CustomMarshalers
:arrow: Microsoft.VisualStudio
:arrow: Microsoft.VSDesigner
:arrow: Microsoft.VSDesigner.Mobile
:arrow: mscorlib
:arrow: System
:arrow: System.Design
:arrow: System.Drawing
:arrow: System.Drawing.Design
:arrow: System.Windows.Forms
:arrow: System.Xml
:arrow: vjscor
:arrow: VJSharpCodeProvider
:arrow: vjslib
:arrow: vjslibcw
:arrow: VJSWfcBrowserStubLib

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the list.

These assemblies will be supported in a future version :D

Do you know when this release is scheduled?

Benjamin

Hi,
I am not sure, our philosophy is to make small releases every 4-6 weeks, and this feature should be part of one of the coming releases.

Hi Scott,

I was just wondering if the new release in coming up this week?

If my math is good 4 to 6 weeks from feb 3rd is March 3rd to 17nd.

:D That would mean release time again!!!

Keep up the good work,

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin
TypeMock.NET 2.2 will be out any day now :D

Hi,
TypeMock.NET 2.2 is out. You can now Mock all librarbies except for types from mscorlib.dll

Can you put a sticky somewhere so this is more coherently documented? Just tried mocking an Exception but it failed (cause it's a System.Exception in mscorlib, I'm testing logging functionality for different types of exceptions). I have to create a custom Exception class now to mock instead.

Thanks,

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

Sticky put :). The next docs will include the full list of supported types. We've misplaced it before, and it will be fixed next.

Cheers,
Gil
