We got the following geek question from Henrik:

Hi,

Thanks for sharing this preview of the MockStyle.Stub feature!
Its exactly was I was looking for when I googled this page,
so now I just can't wait for a release with this included  

I tried to find some information on futre release plans but could not find any.
Could anybody help me out? When could we3 expect a new NUnit
supporting MockStyle.Stub?

Cheers!

Henrik

The answer to this question is a bit complicated. Let me tell you why:

The current development team of NMock2 (Thomas, Peter and me) will not actively continue to develop NMock2. We’ll still provide basic support (bug fixes) but no new features. However, we have planned to make one last release (including the Stub feature) when we are sure that it works in our projects. This will be soon because we didn’t have a new defect in the last two months or so.

The reason why we have lost interest is that Moq has gained a lot of momentum and has a much broader community support. Furthermore, Moq provides some basic improvements that we cannot simply add to NMock2: besides the type safe, refactoring friendlier syntax, it allows very clean AAA (Arrange, Act, Assert) unit tests.

On the other side, there exists the NMock3 project on CodePlex that adds a type-safe syntax wrapper around NMock2. Check it out, when you already use NMock2 in your project.

So for short: the release including the Stub feature will be available soon, but it will also be the last release.

If you can’t wait until the official release then get the code from the subversion repository and start the build.release.cmd, et voila!

Happy mocking (whatever framework you use)

We recently received the “Ask a geek” input showed above from one of our blog readers. Actually it’s not an ask a geek question but we decided to honor Max’s effort nonetheless and show our readers Max’s website which includes a lot of useful tools and information not only about Windows Mobile Development. Max decided to distribute all his applications as Freeware which we truly respect! The applications are allowed to be freely used, copied and distributed as long as it is not sold and all original files are included including his license. Check out his articles and applications.

hello i am so interested using lepord os but i have a problem the problem is i am using windows xp from so many years because i am from India mac os is not that much popular in india because no one know about it really i have installed lepord os in my pc i have completed the installation very well the problem is drivers i have searched through web but i did get any where were can i get drivers for lepord how 2 install them pls help i love mac

The legal OSX Eula prohibits to install OSX on non-Apple hardware. Therefore you will not find drivers for your specific hardware or get any support from Apple. If you just evaluating OSX for academic or research purposes go to the site http://www.osx86project.org/ for information about running OSX on generic hardware platforms but be careful not to violate the OSX Eula.

Martin one of our famous blog readers submitted a wish, … He would love to see a list of of the most useful mac os x apps. I know there are lots of other sites on the web taking care of it already, but hey guys its a growing community. Well keep up your great work. Martin.

The question is not so easy answered though. Mac OS X leopard has already most of the things I need built-in. But there are still some. Let us start with some basic tools I use.

This solution only works for .Net CF prior to 3.5 as the Target and Method properites did not exist before that. Any ideas how to “fake” DynamicInvoke for CF 2.0? I am using extension methods through the ExtensionAttribute trick.

Hello Ryan,

The problem is that the .NET compact framework 2.0 is lacking some really important functionality. What we can get by using ugly reflection code is the target object where the delegate points to and the method pointer of the target method.
