The type of object to create.
Create<T>(ISpecimenBuilder)
Creates an anonymous variable of the requested type.
public static T Create<T>(this ISpecimenBuilder builder)Parameters

The type of object to create.
Create<T>(IPostprocessComposer<T>)
Creates an anonymous variable of the requested type.
public static T Create<T>(this IPostprocessComposer<T> composer)Parameters
composer IPostprocessComposer<T>
The composer used to resolve the type request.
Returns
T
An anonymous object of type T.
Type Parameters
T
The type of object to create.
Remarks
The only purpose of this explicit overload is to support type inferencing.
CreateAnonymous<T>(ISpecimenContext)
Creates an anonymous variable of the requested type.
[Obsolete("Please move over to using Create<T>() as this method will be removed in the next release", true)]
public static T CreateAnonymous<T>(this ISpecimenContext context)Parameters
context ISpecimenContext
The context used to resolve the type request.
Returns
T
An anonymous object of type T.
Type Parameters
T
The type of object to create.
Remarks
Obsolete: Please move over to using ISpecimenContext)?text=Create%3cT%3e() as this method will be removed in the next release.
CreateAnonymous<T>(IFixture)
Creates an anonymous variable of the requested type.
[Obsolete("For compatibility to AutoFixture version 2. This method will be removed, please move to using Create<T>()", true)]
public static T CreateAnonymous<T>(this IFixture fixture)Parameters
fixture IFixture
The fixture used to resolve the type request.
Returns
T
An anonymous object of type T.
Type Parameters
T
The type of object to create.
CreateAnonymous<T>(IPostprocessComposer<T>)
Creates an anonymous variable of the requested type.
[Obsolete("Please move over to using Create<T>() as this method will be removed in the next release", true)]
public static T CreateAnonymous<T>(this IPostprocessComposer<T> composer)Parameters
composer IPostprocessComposer<T>
The composer used to resolve the type request.
Returns
T
An anonymous object of type T.
Type Parameters
T
The type of object to create.
Remarks
Obsolete: "Please move over to using ISpecimenContext)?text=Create%7bT%7d as this method will be removed in the next release.
CreateMany<T>(ISpecimenBuilder)
Creates many anonymous objects.
public static IEnumerable<T> CreateMany<T>(this ISpecimenBuilder builder)Parameters
builder ISpecimenBuilder
The builder used to resolve the type request.
Returns
IEnumerable<T>
A sequence of anonymous object of type T.
Type Parameters
T
The type of objects to create.
Remarks
The CreateMany implementation always returns a new instance of `IEnumerable%601`. Even if IEnumerable<T> is Frozen by the `IFixture)` method or explicitly assigned with the `IFixture%2c%60%600)` method, the CreateMany method returns a new, independent instance of IEnumerable<T>.
However, you can change this behavior, for example by applying the `MapCreateManyToEnumerable` customization.
CreateMany<T>(ISpecimenContext)
Creates many anonymous objects.
public static IEnumerable<T> CreateMany<T>(this ISpecimenContext context)Parameters
context ISpecimenContext
The context used to resolve the type request.
Returns
IEnumerable<T>
A sequence of anonymous object of type T.
Type Parameters
T
The type of objects to create.
Remarks
