Avoiding dispose of underlying stream
- by danbystrom
I'm attempting to mock some file operations. In the "real" object I have:
StreamWriter createFile( string name )
{
return new StreamWriter( Path.Combine( _outFolder, name ), false, Encoding.UTF8 ) );
}
In the mock object I'd like to have:
StreamWriter createFile( string name )
{
var ms = new MemoryStream();
_files.Add( Path.Combine( _outFolder, name ), ms );
return new StreamWriter( ms, Encoding.UTF8 ) );
}
where _files is a dictionary to store created files for later inspection.
However, when the consumer closes the StreamWriter, it also disposes the MeamoryStream... :-(
Any thoughts on how to pursue this?
