MOQ - verify exception was thrown

Question

I working with MOQ framework for my testing. I have a scenario in which I expect a fault exception to be thrown. How can I verify it was thrown?

public void          


        

Answer 1

An old question but no source code actually showing what the solution was, so here's what I did:

var correctExceptionThrown = false;

try
{
    _myClass.DoSomething(x);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    if (ex.Message == "Expected message")
        correctExceptionThrown = true;
}                    

Assert.IsTrue(correctExceptionThrown);

Note rather than checking the message, you can catch a particular type of exception (generally preferable).
