How to log output in the Silverlight Unit Testing Framework?
c#, silverlight, testing, unit-testing
Solution
Looks like the basic code was all there in the April2010 toolkit but never quite finished. The idea is to have your TestClass have a `TestContext TestContext {get; set;}` property that the framework will automatically set. Then, in a TestMethod, call `TestContext.WriteLine()`
In the visual output for a test method, there is a "Output" section but it's databinding was set to a property that did not exist. I've created patch 10660 to address the issue. Hopefully it will be fixed for SL5's release. http://www.codeplex.com/Download?ProjectName=silverlight&DownloadId=295575
Copy the patch's files over April 2010 Silverlight Toolkit unzipped Infrastructure.zip, replacing originals, and build your own copy of Microsoft.Silverlight.Testing.dll
Problem
I would like to log output test data when running test with the Silverlight Unit Testing Framework. I could go around it by creating some element and writing it on that however this feels like a hacked way. Is there any framework supported way of writing output during testing?
