Re: Assert.Throws Syntax

Hi Kelly,

Properties are not considered calls. You'll get the same error if you
try to put 
   Hardware.PhysicalHardware;
anyplace in your program as a statement.

One workaround is to assign it to something, which
makes it a statement. another is to create a method
like

void Call(object o) { }

and write

delegate { Call( Hardware.PysicalHardware ); }


If it were GetPhysicalHardware() this would be easier.
