Partial Classes in C#

Question

Are there are good uses of Partial Classes outside the webforms/winforms generated code scenarios? Or is this feature basically to support that?

Answer 1

I find partial classes to be extremely helpful. Usually they are used to be able to extend autogenerated classes. I used them in one project with heavy unit tests. My UT classes had complex dependencies and it was not very practical to separate code across multiple classes.Of course it is better to use inheritance\composition but in some cases partial classes can be rally helpful.
