Auto generated Accessor classes and base properties

Question

When creating a unit test project VS created an accessor class to allow the unit tests to get at the private/protected members/methods of the class.

However, I'm not able to access any members/methods that are part of the base class. Am I missing something? or does it not work this way?

Hi Wayne,

You should be able to access the methods of base class.

Here is an example:

Dev Code:

namespace Private
{
class Class1
{
private void A()
{
}
protected void B()
{
}
public void C()
{
}
}

class Class2 : Class1
{
private void D()
{
}
}
}

Test Code:
[TestMethod()]
[DeploymentItem("Private.dll")]
public void DTest()
{
Class2_Accessor target = new Class2_Accessor(); // TODO: Initialize to an appropriate value
target.D();
target.C();
target.B();
target.A();
Assert.Inconclusive("A method that does not return a value cannot be verified.");
}

Thanks,
