RhinoMock 3.5 Runtime error when running on .net

Question

I'm using Rhino Mock 3.5 for .Net Framework 2.0 and when I run this code I get a run time error.

This is the code

IFile fileInterface = MockRepository.GenerateStub<IFile>();<br>
IUrlMapper urlMapper = MockRepository.GenerateStub<IUrlMapper>();

// this is the line causing the run-time error<br>
HttpContextBase mockHttpContext = MockRepository.GenerateMock<HttpContextBase>();

HttpRequestBase mockRequest = MockRepository.GenerateMock<HttpRequestBase>();

RhinoMocksExtensions.Stub<HttpContextBase,HttpRequestBase>(mockHttpContext, delegate(HttpContextBase ctx)
{
                                                               return ctx.Request;
                                                           }
).Return(mockRequest);


RhinoMocksExtensions.Stub(fileInterface, delegate(IFile f)
                 {
                     f.Exists(Arg<string>.Is.Anything);
                 }
).Return(true);


AspxReplacementResolver resolverToTest = new AspxReplacementResolver(mockHttpContext, fileInterface, urlMapper);

This is the Error:

TestCase 'TestMockingRhinoMock35.TestTestFixtures.Test1'
failed: System.TypeLoadException : Could not load type 'System.Web.RequestNotification' from assembly 'System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'......

System.Web.RequestNotification is part of Framework 3.0 but I'm using Framework 2.0 and I referenced the specific Rhino Mocks 3.5 for Framework 2.0 dll.

Thank you

HttpContextBase doesn't exist in .Net framework 2.0. It was added in a .dll called System.Web.Abstractions, and is only available if you've installed the .Net Framework 3.5, as well as Service Pack 1 for .Net Framework 3.5.

You'll have to target .net 3.5 if you want to mock this out. If you're using a seperate assembly for testing, there's no reason you couldn't target your test assembly to 3.5 and leave your production application alone.
