What's a good way to overwrite DateTime.Now during testing?

Question

I\'ve got some (C#) code that relies on today\'s date to correctly calculate things in the future. If I use today\'s date in the testing, I have to repeat the calculation in

Answer 1

I'd suggest using IDisposable pattern:

[Test] 
public void CreateName_AddsCurrentTimeAtEnd() 
{
    using (Clock.NowIs(new DateTime(2010, 12, 31, 23, 59, 00)))
    {
        string name = new ReportNameService().CreateName(...);
        Assert.AreEqual("name 2010-12-31 23:59:00", name);
    } 
}
