This is a writeup of the initial code from Brett Schuchert’s talk on how to work with legacy code at Vimeo, http://vimeo.com/34484105.

Watch the talk.

You can also read "A story about too much power" in order to understand the motivation for this example.

The example requires Moq and Typemock Isolator libraries to be present in the lib folder of the project. Neither library is provided. Moq is open-source. Typemock Isolator is a commercial product, with evaluation and educational licenses available.

Thanks to Brett Schuchert for the great example, for the generous permission to write up this code – and for generally publishing everything on his wiki under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license.
