copied!<p>What you are suggesting won't even compile if your code relies on System.Windows.Forms.Control. Your version of Control and Textbox are simply the wrong type.</p> <p>If, instead, you separated your UI and Logic with interfaces, then you could do this... Something like this:</p> <pre><code>public interface ITextBox { public string Text {get; set;} } public class TextBoxAdapter : ITextBox { private readonly System.Windows.Forms.TextBox _textBox; public TextBoxAdapter(System.Windows.Forms.TextBox textBox) { _textBox = textBox; } public string Text { get { return _textBox.Text; } set { _textBox.Text = value; } } } public class YourClass { private ITextBox _textBox; public YourClass(ITextBox textBox) { _textBox = textBox; } public void DoSomething() { _textBox.Text = "twiddleMe"; } } </code></pre> <p>Then, in your test, all you need to do is create a mock, fake or stub ITextBox and pass it in.</p> <p>When I do something like this, I create an interface at a slightly higher level... I create an interface that looks a lot like the entire UI and have the UI implement the interface. Then, I can twiddle the UI all I need, without ever really knowing that it is a Forms control.</p> <p>By the way, if you want to go with the approach of creating actual controls, consider this blog post about it: <a href="http://www.houseofbilz.com/archive/2008/10/12/winforms-automation-extensions.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.houseofbilz.com/archive/2008/10/12/winforms-automation-extensions.aspx</a></p>
