Question

Is that possible in RhinoMocks to create mock object without it constructor invocation?

    public class A
    {
        public A()
        {
            throw new InvalidOperationException("Mock me!");
        }
    } 

    [Test]
    public void TestCtors()
    {
        MockRepository mocks = new MockRepository();
        A a = (A)mocks.StrictMock(typeof(A));
        Assert.IsTrue(true, "Should be eligible");
    }

I don’t think there is a way around this if you are mocking a concrete class. If you could mock in interface instead that would obviously not call a constructor. Would it be possible to re-work your code so that A implements and interface which you can mock?
