Intersting post!

If you use the testhelpers from MVCContrib you could also test using the following syntax:

var json = controller.FindRooms(new RoomRequirements { From = from, To = to })

.AssertResultIs<JsonResult>()

.AssertPayloadIs<IList<Room>>();

Assert.That(json.Count, Is.EqualTo(2));

Assert.That(json[0].Number, Is.EqualTo("201"));

Assert.That(json[0].Type, Is.EqualTo("Single"));

Assert.That(json[0].Price, Is.EqualTo(1100.0));

I found another way to achieve this...I find it much easier, I use the RouteValueDictionary, I created an extension method to the JsonResult:

public static RouteValueDictionary AsRouteValueDictionary(this JsonResult jsonResult)

{

return new RouteValueDictionary(jsonResult.Data);

}

Then, I can use it this way:

var result = jsonResult.AsRouteValueDictionary();

Assert.That(result["Status"], Is.True);
