27<h3>DatapointAttribute / DatapointsAttribute (NUnit 2.5) (Experimental)</h3>
28
29<p>The <b>Datapoint</b> and <b>Datapoints</b> attributes are used
30 to provide data for <b>Theories</b> and are ignored for ordinary
31 tests - including tests with parameters.
32
33<h4>DataPointAttribute</h4>
34
35<p>When a Theory is loaded, NUnit creates arguments for each
36 of its parameters by using any fields of the same type
37 as the parameter annotated with the <b>DatapointAttribute</b>.
38 Fields must be members of the class containing the Theory
39 and their Type must exactly match the argument for which
40 data is being supplied.
41
42<h4>DataPointsAttribute</h4>
43
44<p>In addition to specifying individual datapoints, collections of
45 datapoints may be provided by use of the <b>DatapointsAttribute</b>
46 - note the spelling. This attribute may be placed on methods or
47 properties in addition to fields. The returned value must be
48 either an array of the required type or (beginning with NUnit
49 2.5.5) an <b>IEnumerable&lt;T&gt;</b> returning an enumeration
50 of the required type. The data Type must exactly match the argument
51 for which data is being supplied.
52
53<h4>Automatically Supplied Datapoints</h4>
54
55<p>It is normally not necessary to specify datapoints for
56 <b>boolean</b> or <b>enum</b> arguments. Beginning with
57 version 2.5.4, NUnit automatically supplies values of <b>true</b>
58 and <b>false</b> for <b>boolean</b> arguments and will supply all
59 defined values of any enumeration.
60
61<p>If for some reason you don't wish to use all possible values, you
62 can override this behavior by supplying your own datapoints. If you
63 supply any datapoints for an argument, automatic datapoint generation
64 is suppressed.
