    FailReason Constructor
    In This Topic
    Represents the assertion fail reason. Contains the message and arguments for message's numbered placeholders. Initializes a new instance of the FailReason class.
    Syntax
    public FailReason( 
       string message,
       params object[] args
    )

    Parameters

    message
    args
    Remarks
    In addition to the numbered System.String.Format(System.String,System.Object[])-style placeholders, messages may contain a few specialized placeholders as well. For instance, {reason} will be replaced with the reason of the assertion as passed to BecauseOf(String,Object[]).

    Other named placeholders will be replaced with the AssertionScope.Current scope data passed through AssertionChain.WithReportable.

    Finally, a description of the current subject can be passed through the {context:description} placeholder. This is used in the message if no explicit context is specified through the AssertionScope constructor.

    Note that only 10 args are supported in combination with a {reason}.
