Re: How do I unit test a Dispose method ?

Isn't there already an IDisposable interface? which means you can easily
create an IDisposable MOCK object and check if dispose was called on it.
all you would do it then have casted IDisposable in the class level that
you would access from the dispose method.

public Connection(SecureString password)
{
IDisposable  _myDisposablePassword;
  _myPassword = password.Copy(); // creates a clone of the password which
needs to be disposed
_myDisposablePassword = _myPassword;
}
public void Dispose()
{
  _myDisposablePassword.Dispose(); // releases any resources it holds
}
