It looks to me that you are using some kind of DI container, so is it
not possible for you to use constructor injection for your object, eg.
public class LoadHandler: ILoadHandler
{
private ILoadController _loadController;
public LoadHandler(ILoadController loadController)
{
_loadController = loadController;
}
}
If you can do this, then you simply mock the ILoadController and pass
the mock in to your call to construct LoadHandler in the test ...
[Test]
SomeMeaningfulTestName()
{
var controllerStub = MockRepository.GenerateStub<ILoadController>
();
controllerStub.Stub(c=>c.GetLoads).Return(MyMockDataSet);
var handler = new LoadHander(controllerStub);
// ACTION
// ASSERT
}
