How to get the actual JSON from a JsonResult object for a unit test?

I am wondering how I can take a JsonResult in a u开发者_Python百科nit test and get the stringified JSON to validate it. I have seen ways to use dynamic types to verify the data, but I need to actually verify the data gets converted to strings appropriately.

Here is my code where I create it:

JsonResult result = new JsonResult {Data = new {EncryptedValue = value}};

The value object I am passing in is actually an type I wrote that can take a value (int, double, DateTime) and when cast to a string, it encrypts the value and I need to ensure that the JsonResult is casting it to a string correctly when stringifying.

Just use result.Data

You would need to mock the HttpContext and ControllerContext for that. See the link below.

You can do this in a number of ways, it is very possible.

This blog post has a very nice implementation of custom tests written and explained.

In this post the author uses a custom type which is being returned and does the same thing.
