Method AllowInstances

AllowInstances(TypeSet)

Defines that instances of any type in the provided typeSet are allowed to exist when this definition is asserted using MemAssertion.MemAssertion.Assert.

Declaration

public AssertionsDefinition AllowInstances(TypeSet typeSet)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TypeSet	typeSet	A TypeSet containing the types of the instances that should be allowed.

Returns

Type	Description
AssertionsDefinition	Returns `this` to allow definition calls to be chained.

Remarks

Including a type in a call to AllowInstances, will override instance restrictions defined using a call to NoInstances(Type[], Boolean) or NoNewInstances(Type[], Boolean).

note

The AllowXXX (AllowInstances(TypeSet), AllowNewInstances(TypeSet)) and MaxXXX (MaxInstances(TypeSet, Int32), MaxNewInstances(TypeSet, Int32), MaxBytes(TypeSet, Int64), MaxNewBytes(TypeSet, Int64)) methods takes precedence over the NoXXX (NoInstances(TypeSet), NoNewInstances(TypeSet)) methods. For more information see AssertionsDefinition.

AllowInstances(Type[], Boolean)

Defines that instances of the provided types (and optionally their subclasses) are allowed to exist when this definition is asserted using MemAssertion.MemAssertion.Assert.

Declaration

public AssertionsDefinition AllowInstances(Type[] types, bool includeSubclasses)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Type[]	types	An array containing the System.Types of the instances that should be allowed.
System.Boolean	includeSubclasses	Indicates whether instances of subclasses of the specified types should be checked.

Returns

Type	Description
AssertionsDefinition	Returns `this` to allow definition calls to be chained.

Remarks

Including a type in a call to AllowInstances, will override instance restrictions defined using a call to NoInstances(Type[], Boolean) or NoNewInstances(Type[], Boolean).

note

AllowInstances(Type[])

Defines that instances of the provided types are allowed to exist when this definition is asserted using MemAssertion.MemAssertion.Assert.

Declaration

public AssertionsDefinition AllowInstances(Type[] types)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Type[]	types	An array containing the System.Types of the instances that should be allowed.

Returns

Type	Description
AssertionsDefinition	Returns `this` to allow definition calls to be chained.

Remarks

Including a type in a call to AllowInstances, will override instance restrictions defined using a call to NoInstances(Type[], Boolean) or NoNewInstances(Type[], Boolean).

note

AllowInstances(Type, Boolean)

Defines that instances of the provided type (and optionally its subclasses) are allowed to exist when this definition is asserted using MemAssertion.MemAssertion.Assert.

Declaration

public AssertionsDefinition AllowInstances(Type type, bool includeSubclasses)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Type	type	The System.Type of the instances that should be allowed.
System.Boolean	includeSubclasses	Indicates whether instances of subclasses of the specified type should be checked.

Returns

Type	Description
AssertionsDefinition	Returns `this` to allow definition calls to be chained.

Remarks

Including a type in a call to AllowInstances, will override instance restrictions defined using a call to NoInstances(Type[], Boolean) or NoNewInstances(Type[], Boolean).

note

AllowInstances(Type)

Defines that instances of the provided type are allowed to exist when this definition is asserted using MemAssertion.MemAssertion.Assert.

Declaration

public AssertionsDefinition AllowInstances(Type type)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Type	type	The System.Type of the instances that should be allowed.

Returns

Type	Description
AssertionsDefinition	Returns `this` to allow definition calls to be chained.

Remarks

Including a type in a call to AllowInstances, will override instance restrictions defined using a call to NoInstances(Type[], Boolean) or NoNewInstances(Type[], Boolean).

note

AllowInstances(String[], Boolean)

Defines that instances of Types that matches the provided names (and optionally their subclasses) are allowed to exist when this definition is asserted using MemAssertion.MemAssertion.Assert.

Declaration

public AssertionsDefinition AllowInstances(string[] typeNames, bool includeSubclasses)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String[]	typeNames	An array containing the type names of the instances that should be allowed.
System.Boolean	includeSubclasses	Indicates whether instances of subclasses of the specified types should be allowed.

Returns

Type	Description
AssertionsDefinition	Returns `this` to allow definition calls to be chained.

Remarks

Including a type in a call to AllowInstances, will override instance restrictions defined using a call to NoInstances(Type[], Boolean) or NoNewInstances(Type[], Boolean).

note

The name of a Type can end with the wildcard character '*', which allows all types that starts with the specified text to be matched. This can be used to include all types in a namespace (e.g. “System.Windows.Forms.*” will include all types in the System.Windows.Forms namespace).

AllowInstances(String[])

Defines that instances of Types that matches the provided names are allowed to exist when this definition is asserted using MemAssertion.MemAssertion.Assert.

Declaration

public AssertionsDefinition AllowInstances(string[] typeNames)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String[]	typeNames	An array containing the names of the `Types` that should be allowed.

Returns

Type	Description
AssertionsDefinition	Returns `this` to allow definition calls to be chained.

Remarks

Including a type in a call to AllowInstances, will override instance restrictions defined using a call to NoInstances(Type[], Boolean) or NoNewInstances(Type[], Boolean).

note

AllowInstances(String, Boolean)

Defines that instances of Types that matches the provided name (and optionally their subclasses) are allowed to exist when this definition is asserted using MemAssertion.MemAssertion.Assert.

Declaration

public AssertionsDefinition AllowInstances(string typeName, bool includeSubclasses)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	typeName	The type name of the instances that should be allowed.
System.Boolean	includeSubclasses	Indicates whether instances of subclasses of the specified types should be checked.

Returns

Type	Description
AssertionsDefinition	Returns `this` to allow definition calls to be chained.
