How can I fake HttpContext for unit tests?

Question

Hello,

I need to fake HttpContext.Current.Application table to access it from my unit tests.

I need to store my data somewhere. I thought that I can just pass instance of NameValueCollectionBase but as I descover this base type has no indexer so it's too complicated to use.

So what about faking this part of HttpContext? Is it possible? How can I make it? Will be NUnit.Mocks helpful?

Thank you in advice...

Hello,

If you need indexes for namevaluecollection base please use below code

public static IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string>> ToPairs(this NameValueCollection collection)
{
    if(collection == null)
    {
        throw new ArgumentNullException("collection");
    }

    return collection.Cast<string>().Select(key => new KeyValuePair<string, string>(key, collection[key]));
}

For just to store data and passing around test methods please use above code.
