Compliant Code Examples

    private const string PemCertPublic = "";
}

class My_Class {
    int _myVariable = 10;

    public void BooleanToIntegerConverterTest()
    {
        var converter = new BooleanToIntegerConverter
        {
            ValueOnTrue = 1,
            ValueOnFalse = 2
        };

        Assert.AreEqual(1, converter.Convert(true, typeof(int), null, null));
        Assert.AreEqual(2, converter.Convert(false, typeof(int), null, null));
    }
