User Friendly Report

Sometimes you want to show the differences of an object to a user before they submit their changes to the database.  The User Friendly report can be used to do this:

Example

[Test]
public void UserFriendlyReportTest()
{
 if (File.Exists("movie.txt"))
  File.Delete("movie.txt");

 Movie movie1 = new Movie();
 movie1.Name = "Oblivion";
 movie1.PaymentForTomCruise = 2000000M;

 Movie movie2 = new Movie();
 movie2.Name = "Edge of Tomorrow";
 movie2.PaymentForTomCruise = 3000000M;

 CompareLogic compareLogic = new CompareLogic();
 compareLogic.Config.MaxDifferences = Int32.MaxValue;
 ComparisonResult result = compareLogic.Compare(movie1, movie2);

 UserFriendlyReport friendlyReport = new UserFriendlyReport();
 friendlyReport.OutputFile(result.Differences, "movie.txt");

 Assert.IsTrue(File.Exists("movie.txt"));

 Console.WriteLine(friendlyReport.OutputString(result.Differences));

 friendlyReport.LaunchApplication("movie.txt");
}
