Well actually at this point I have progressed in searching for a way to cheat.But I didn't find a way yet that will work with signed 3rd party signed assemblies like say sharepoint.
I can use Mono.Cecil to change some of the types to include AOP hooks so I can inject ruby in them and get the expected result by just not calling the real method body. That should work for everything that isn't signed. if the signed assemblies aren't being referenced by anything else than your source code then that will still work by recompiling the source code against the new assemblies. I think that should get me pretty far in what I'm trying to achieve with the mocker. I need to be able to intercept the method call, execute ruby and decide whether or not to call the previous method. Then I'm only stuck on how to get around 3rd party signed assemblies with keys that I don't have access to. In my case the expected result is when I'm working from ruby things should behave like ruby. So if I monkey patch some method it should just replace the thing also when C# calls it :) --- Met vriendelijke groeten - Best regards - Salutations Ivan Porto Carrero Blog: http://flanders.co.nz Twitter: http://twitter.com/casualjim Author of IronRuby in Action (http://manning.com/carrero) Vince Lombardi<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/v/vince_lombardi.html> - "We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time."
