A .NET dynamic fake library for creating all types of fake objects, mocks, stubs etc.

* Easier semantics, all fake objects are just that - fakes - the use of the fakes determines whether they're mocks or stubs.

* Context-aware fluent interface guides the developer.

* Designed for ease of use.

* Full compatibility with both C# and VB.Net.

## Faking amazing example

```c#

// Creating a fake object is very easy!

// No mocks, or stubs; everything's a fake.

var shop = A.Fake();

// Easily set up a call to return a value.

var lollipop = new Lollipop();

A.CallTo(() => shop.GetTopSellingCandy()).Returns(lollipop);

// Exercise your system under test by using the fake as you

// would an instance of the faked type.

var customer = new SweetTooth();

customer.BuyTastiestCandy(shop);

// Asserting uses the same syntax as configuring calls.

A.CallTo(() => shop.BuyCandy(lollipop)).MustHaveHappened();

```
