How can I test for an expected exception with a specific exception message from a resource file in Visual Studio Test?

Question

Visual Studio Test can check for expected exceptions using the ExpectedException attribute. You can pass in an exception like this:

[TestMethod]
[ExpectedExc

If you switch over to using the very nice xUnit.Net testing library, you can replace [ExpectedException] with something like this:

[Fact]
public void TestException()
{
   Exception ex = Record.Exception(() => myClass.DoSomethingExceptional());
   // Assert whatever you like about the exception here.
}
