Castle DynamicProxy automatic property initialization

I have the following interfaces:

interface IFoo {}
interface IBar {
    IFoo Foo {get;set;}
}

Given a generated proxy implementation

var generator = new ProxyGenerator();
var proxy = generator.CreateInterfaceProxyWithoutTarget<IBar>();

Is there a way to have the property Foo of proxy have its instance mocked and initialized such that

Assert.IsNotNull(proxy.Foo);

?

Solution

  • No.

    The proxy wont have backing fields for the properties. Its sole purpose is to invoke the interceptor chain, so it's up on of your interceptors to return a value for the property.
