Thank you for not abandoning it. I'm no longer affected by this personally, because I have moved on to a different team, using a different technology (C#). That said, the team I left is still constrained by this limitation of course.
I too really like Option #3, even if it's a pollution an otherwise clean /straight-forward overload chain, it would allow the team to move forward and no longer be locked into the last supported version. It kicks the can down the road without ignoring the problem within the framework. It's a trap door for those that need it, and can be ignored by those that don't. The IntelliSense comment should probably explain that this isn't method isn't designed for "typical" usage. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of NUnit Core Developers, which is the registrant for NUnit Framework. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/498690 Title: Assert.That() doesn't like properties with scoped setters Status in NUnit Test Framework: Triaged Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: Triaged Bug description: Public Class SomeClass Public Property BrokenProp() As String Get Return String.Empty End Get Private Set(ByVal value As String) End Set End Property End Class <TestFixture()> Public Class clsTestTask <Test()> Public Sub TestXyz() Dim obj As New SomeClass() Expect(obj.BrokenProp, EqualTo(String.Empty)) End Sub End Class The above code produces a compiler error: Error 1 'Set' accessor of property 'BrokenProp' is not accessible. If the scoping wasn't applied to the setter on the property or the property was ReadOnly, the compile error goes away. This is a .NET 2.0 assembly, compiled with the Visual Studio 2008 SP1. NUnit 2.4.7 and prior did not experience this issue. BTW, I've also started a Google Group posting for this issue: http://groups.google.com/group/nunit-discuss/browse_thread/thread/edb56db3d3e60195 [From SF:2792355] SF Comment: More info... the equivalent scoped setter in C# does not have this problem. It arises solely with VB.
