Is there any free mocking framework that can mock static methods and sealed classes?

Question

Typemock can do this but it is $799USD and that is a lot to pay for two features.

Please no conversations about avoiding using static and sealed things or encapsulating them. When using a large 3rd party API it is not possible and/or practical.

Thanks

Your 3rd party framework does not seem to consider testing. There are still companies which do not know what an interface is good for ... — Stefan Steinegger, Nov 03 '09 at 10:52
You are correct stefan. Their response to testing is "create a database with you test data and then run your tests" — Simon, Nov 03 '09 at 21:10

The only thing I could find was: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/stubs/

I admit to having not used it, but I thought yourself and others may find the link useful.

Not really, but you can use Moq Moq Download or Rhino Mocks Rhino Mocks Download to wrap the static method and call in a virtual instance method in another class

i regularly use this for the occasional case but the API I am dealing with at the moment has a very large surface area and it would be a pain to take this aproach. Thanks anyway. – Simon Nov 01 '09 at 21:29
