Using Lambdas as Constraints in NUnit 2.5

Let's say you have an array of ints representing years, all of which should be leap years.

One way to test this would be to write a custom constraint, LeapYearConstraint. You could then use it with the Matches syntax element to write your test as

Assert.That( array, Is.All.Matches( new LeapYearConstraint() );

But creating a new constraint for this adhoc problem seems like a bit of overkill. Instead, assuming you are working with C# version 3, try this:

Assert.That( array, Is.All.Matches<int>( (x) => x%4 == 0 && x%100 != 0 || x%400 == 0 );

If it fails, it will give a generic message: "Expected: matching lambda expression" since NUnit is actually built with .NET 2.0, but for a quick test it may be just the tool you need.
