Syntax

public class Mock : IMockControl

Public Class Mock
	Implements IMockControl

The Mock type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	Mock	Constructer, keep internal

Properties

	Name	Description
	CallBase
	CallStatic	Allow mocking a static method when that method is overloaded with an instance method Remarks In most cases there is no need to use this method as Typemock Isolator will mock all static methods of the mocked type. CallStatic should be used when an instance method and a static method have the same name By default the instance methods are returned. If instance methods are mocked
	MockedInstance	Get the actual instance that is being mocked and controlled. This enables tracking instance mocks to the actual instance
	MockedType	Get the type that is mocked and controlled.
	Strict	Can set the mock to be Strict The default is the Methods of Abstract and Interfaces are Strict and Arbitrary calls fail while Arbitrary Methods of concrete classes are allowed.
	StrictStatic	Can set the static methods of a mocked type to be Strict
	ValidateArgsOnVerify	Obsolete. Obslolete. Argument validation is done both on calling the method and during Verify.

Remarks

Mock object have 3 stages.

Set Up - This is the stage where you 'record' what the mocked type/object expects to do and what to return
Run - Run the actual class under test
Verify - Make sure that the mocked object acted as expected

These phases are managed by the Mock object.

Note
You cannot create a Mock directly use MockManager.Mock(Type)

Note
You cannot mock Interfaces Classes, Use MockManager.MockObject(Type, Object)

Note
When mocking a method that is declared in When mocking a method that is declared in a base class, Typemock Isolator will only mock that method when called from the mocked type. When a base method is mocked and a derived class calls that method, it WON'T be mocked
