    I have a form I want to create a unit testing for a Form. I want to demonstrate user click by calling the method that is activated OnClick. I don't even need to display the form itself. 

    The problem is that after I create a new Form in my tester Method, I am unable to access the OnClick function (even tho it access modifier is "public") , because I get the error: "The type 'Form' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Windows.Forms, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'."

    I don't think I am approaching it in the right way, should I add a reference? But I don't want to even display the Form, all I want is to call the function. What is the right approach? how does unit test usually conducted on Forms?

    Thank you in advance!!

    Hi avivgood,

    Welcome to MSDN forum.

    Yes, you should add "System.Windows.Forms.dll" into your project. The onclick method is a component of control class, and the class is under "System.Window.Forms" namespace.

    This namesapce contains classes for creating Windows-based applications that take full advantage of the rich user interface features available in the Microsoft Windows operating system. And display feature is just one component other than all.

    Hope it could help you.

    Best Regards,

    Dylan
