If you fake DateTime.Now (our favorite request) you may get what you ask for, but not what you expected. That's because, mscorlib uses these types as well. That's why the wrappers are needed, to make sure that you fake the correct thing. By the way you CAN fake interfaces defined in mscorlib. If you'd like, drop me an email, I'll enter you into our insider list, so you'll know what's happening before everyone else. Thanks, Gil Hi Monkk,

Thanks for the great product! My only question is why can't one mock things in the mscorlib? Not really a big deal, but I did recently have a case where a function under test makes a call to Random.GetNext() and I needed to control it's return value. It wasn't really a big deal, I just wrapped the call to it in another function and was able to control it's return value. But I could see cases where maybe working with streams or readers where more control would be nice without having to subclass and wrap 'em. But really, that's not a deal breaker at all!

I'm glad you like our product. We take great pride in that you can do all this stuff, and with a few lines of code. How long have you been doing unit-testing? Thanks again for the kind words, Gil Zilberfeld Typemock Hi Monkk,
