Hi,

I'm trying to get to grips with TDD and am at the stage where I am trying to mock database access. I have closely followed Chapter 5 and have set up Ninject etc. However, in my real life application, my equivalent to the BusinessService class takes an IDialogService as a parameter. The reason for this is to stop Message Boxes displaying when running the unit tests. I therefore have the following line in the module:

Bind<IDialogService>().To<DialogService>();

The implementation of IDialogService is as follows:

public interface IDialogService
{
void ShowMessageBox(string caption);
}

public class DialogService : IDialogService
{
public void ShowMessageBox(string caption)
{
MessageBox.Show(caption);
}
}

public class DialogSupressedService : IDialogService
{
public void ShowMessageBox(string caption)
{
return;
}
}

I use DialogService in my application and DialogSupressedService in my unit test. However, when I create an instance of my equivalent to the BusinessService class using the Ninject Kernel, I can't figure out how to force it to use the DialogSupressedService in the unit test.

I hope I have explained this clearly.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Edit: I have realised one solution to this is to maintain two separate module files i.e. one for unitest containing:

Bind<IDialogService>().To<DialogSupressService>();

and one for the actual application containing:

Bind<IDialogService>().To<DialogService>();

Is this the right way to go?
