Testing Mentor Class Library

PseudoName Members

Generates a random pseudonym from user supplied names.

Constructor
  Name Description
PseudoNameGenerator Initializes a new instance of the PseudoNameGenerator class
 Methods
  Name Description
Pseudonym Generates a random pseudonym specified by the NameInfo information
Properties
  Name Description
NameInfo Sets the properties to pass to the Pseudonym method of the PseudoNameGenerator
Remarks

If the NameInfo.Filename property is not set, or if the file location is invalid then Pseudonym will generate an empty string.

If the data file is in an incorrect format then Pseudonym will throw an IndexOutOfRange exception.

If NameInfo.IsFemale or NameInfo.IsMale is not set to true, then Pseudonym will randomly select a name gender.

Example
using System;
using TestingMentor.TestTool.PseudoName;

namespace PseudonymGeneratorExample
{
  class RandomName
  {
    static void Main()
    {
      PseudoNameGenerator png = new PseudoNameGenerator();
      png.NameInfo.Filename = Environment.GetFolderPath(
          Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) +
          "\\names.xlsx";
      png.NameInfo.IsFemale = true;
      string name = png.Pseudonym();
    }
  }
}

This example would return a female given name and a surname from the list of names provided in the names.xlsx data file. (The data file must be in Excel format, and can be either xlsx or xls format.)

Example
using System;
using TestingMentor.TestTool.PseudoName;

namespace PseudonymGeneratorExample
{
  class RandomName
  {
    static void Main()
    {
      PseudoNameGenerator png = new PseudoNameGenerator();
      png.NameInfo.Filename = Environment.GetFolderPath(
          Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) +
          "\\names.xlsx";
      png.NameInfo.IsFemale = true;
      string[] name = png.Pseudonym().Split(new char[] {' '});
      }
  }
}

This example returns a female given name and a surname from a list of names provided in the names.xlsx data file and reads the given name and the surname into a string array.
