Is there a tool I can use to generate interfaces and wrappers for object mocking in c#

Question

Given a class like System.Timers.Timer, or ANY managed class (whether user defined, from the .net framework, or some 3rd party library) is there some program I can use to (a) generate an interface based on this class and (b) generate a wrapper for the given class?

for example if I have a

public class Foo
{
   public object MyProperty { get { ... } set { ... } }
   public int SomeMethod(object a) { ... }
}

it will create an interface

interface IFoo
{
   object MyProperty { get; set; }
   int SomeMethod(object a) { ... } 
}

and maybe even a wrapper

class FooWrap
{
   // something for relay constructor here
   ...

   Foo _me;

   public object MyProperty { get { return _me.MyProperty; } set { _me.MyProperty =    value; } }
   public int SomeMethod(object a) { return _me.SomeMethod(); }
}

Obviously there's stuff I haven't thought about like events, generics etc. I want a DWIMNWIS-PSICHTO(-Plus-Stuff-I-Clearly-Haven't-Thought-Of).

I'm aware resharper/vs can be used to extract an interface but I've only been able to use this on my own classes.

_{Aside: Wow, it is amazing how simply becoming accustomed to a previously 'unacceptable' idea eventually gives it legitimacy. A year ago the idea of having to create interfaces for all objects I want to mock and adopting an injection framework would have seemed like the height of madness. It turns out that while it's not quite death and taxes, it is sparta.}

_{I am aware of and have used typemock. It certainly is the work of elvish wizards. One day when $800 does not seem like quite so much money I intend to buy it.}

Answer 1

I hear good things about rhino mock There is also nmock

Sorry but i dont have much extra information about them. Just read a bit about them in a book.

Answer 2

I recommend that you create your own interfaces and implement only what you need. Typemock like approach is evil and should only be used on legacy code until it's refactored right.
