Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
SmartTestException If any property/field checked (see kind) of the instance in expression, except the property/field in expression has changed.
Remarks
This Assertion ensures that:
  1. Before the Act -

    Nothing special.

  2. After the Act -

    If a property/field of the instance in expression changed during the Act (except the property/field in expression), a SmartTestException is thrown.

Examples
In this example, the Smart Assertion verifies that no property nor field of other, except CopyCount, changed while calling CopyPropertiesFrom.
Copy
[Test]
public void CopyPropertiesFromTest()
{
    var mc = new MyClass();
    var other = new MyClass();

    RunTest( ValidValue.IsValid,
             () => mc.CopyPropertiesFrom( other ),
             SmartAssert.NotChangedExcept( () => other.CopyCount, NotChangedKind.All ) );
}
