Vista - WPF - I mock you. Or not.

WPF - I mock you. Or not.

Windows Forms classes were derived from MarshalByRefObject, which has
lovely side effects when it comes to testing. If one is using a Model
View Presenter for TDD'ing one's GUI, the View can easily be mocked by
using Real/Transparent proxies.

This loveliness seems to have been lost in WPF. Is this the case? Are
the System.Windows classes not as easy to mock? Canonical MVP would see
me using an interface for the view to implement, but we can currently
short circuit that in WinForms.

Cheers

Tim
