NUnit - TypeAsserts

## Type Asserts (NUnit 2.2.3 / 2.5)

These methods allow us to make assertions about the type of an object.

    Assert.IsInstanceOfType( Type expected, object actual );
    Assert.IsInstanceOfType( Type expected, object actual,
                    string message );
    Assert.IsInstanceOfType( Type expected, object actual,
                    string message, params object[] parms );

    Assert.IsNotInstanceOfType( Type expected, object actual );
    Assert.IsNotInstanceOfType( Type expected, object actual,
                    string message );
    Assert.IsNotInstanceOfType( Type expected, object actual,
                    string message, params object[] parms );

    Assert.IsAssignableFrom( Type expected, object actual );
    Assert.IsAssignableFrom( Type expected, object actual,
                    string message );
    Assert.IsAssignableFrom( Type expected, object actual,
                    string message, params object[] parms );

    Assert.IsNotAssignableFrom( Type expected, object actual );
    Assert.IsNotAssignableFrom( Type expected, object actual,
                    string message );
    Assert.IsNotAssignableFrom( Type expected, object actual,
                    string message, params object[] parms );

Beginning with NUnit 2.5, generic equivalents are available in .NET 2.0 NUnit packages.

    Assert.IsInstanceOf<T>( object actual );
    Assert.IsInstanceOf<T>( object actual, string message );
    Assert.IsInstanceOf<T>( object actual,
                    string message, params object[] parms );

    Assert.IsNotInstanceOf<T>( object actual );
    Assert.IsNotInstanceOf<T>( object actual, string message );
    Assert.IsNotInstanceOf<T>( object actual,
                    string message, params object[] parms );

    Assert.IsAssignableFrom<T>( object actual );
    Assert.IsAssignableFrom<T>( object actual, string message );
    Assert.IsAssignableFrom<T>( object actual,
                    string message, params object[] parms );

    Assert.IsNotAssignableFrom<T>( object actual );
    Assert.IsNotAssignableFrom<T>( object actual, string message );
    Assert.IsNotAssignableFrom<T>( object actual,
                    string message, params object[] parms );
