ObjectPortrayal(Object, Action<ObjectPortrayalOptions>)

Generates a portrayal of the specified instance that might contain information about the instance state.

Declaration
public static string ObjectPortrayal(object instance, Action<ObjectPortrayalOptions> setup = null)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Object instance

The instance of an Object to convert.
Action<ObjectPortrayalOptions> setup

The ObjectPortrayalOptions which may be configured.
Returns
Type Description
String

A String that represents the specified instance.
Remarks

When determining the representation of the specified instance, these default rules applies: 1: if the ToString() method has been overridden, any further processing is skipped (the assumption is, that a custom representation is already in place) 2: any public properties having index parameters is skipped 3: any public properties is appended to the result if ToString() has not been overridden Note: do not call this method from an overridden ToString(..) method without setting BypassOverrideCheck to true; otherwise a StackOverflowException will occur.

RandomNumber(Int32)

Generates a random integer that is within a specified range.

Declaration
public static int RandomNumber(int maximumExclusive = 2147483647)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Int32 maximumExclusive

The exclusive upper bound of the random number returned. maximumExclusive must be greater than or equal to 0.
Returns
Type Description
Int32

A 32-bit signed integer greater than or equal to 0 and less than maximumExclusive; that is, the range of return values includes 0 but not maximumExclusive. If 0 equals maximumExclusive, 0 is returned.

RandomNumber(Int32, Int32)

Generates a random integer that is within a specified range.

Declaration
public static int RandomNumber(int minimumInclusive, int maximumExclusive)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Int32 minimumInclusive

The inclusive lower bound of the random number returned.
Int32 maximumExclusive

The exclusive upper bound of the random number returned. maximumExclusive must be greater than or equal to minimumInclusive.
Returns
Type Description
Int32

A 32-bit signed integer greater than or equal to minimumInclusive and less than maximumExclusive; that is, the range of return values includes minimumInclusive but not maximumExclusive. If minimumInclusive equals maximumExclusive, minimumInclusive is returned.
Exceptions
Type Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

minimumInclusive is greater than maximumExclusive.
