Methods

RethrowIfAssertException(Exception)

Rethrow the exception if it is an AssertFailedException or an AssertInconclusiveException

(Inherited from ExpectedExceptionBaseAttribute)
Verify(Exception)

Determines whether the exception is expected. If the method returns, then it is understood that the exception was expected. If the method throws an exception, then it is understood that the exception was not expected, and the thrown exception's message is included in the test result. The Assert class can be used for convenience. If Inconclusive() is used and the assertion fails, then the test outcome is set to Inconclusive.
