Entity Framework

[Chris]

Anyone got any ideas on how I'd mock a call to a method that contains something similar to below. I realise I could mock the method call itself but I'm really after the method being entered and the linq statment returning values that don't actually exist in the db

using (OptimumWebRollEntities context = new OptimumWebRollEntities())
            {

                returnList = (from u in context.OptimumUser
                              where u.IsOptimumStaff == false
                              && u.IsActive
                              && u.Region.RegionId == regionId
                              orderby u.Surname, u.FirstName
                              select new data.ReportingEntities.Candidate()
                              {
                                  OptimumUserId = u.OptimumUserId,
                                  FirstName = u.FirstName,
                                  Surname = u.Surname
                              }).ToList();

            }

Hello Chris,
Indeed, it's better you mock the method call itself, otherwise you'll need to mock too many things which you're using in the method body and additionally you'll need to pass them as parameters.

Also, we are planning to support this type of direct mocking of LINQ queries as well in coming quarters.

Kind regards,
