Methods

Create(object, ISpecimenContext)

Creates a new specimen based on a request.

object Create(object request, ISpecimenContext context)

Parameters

request object

The request that describes what to create.

context ISpecimenContext

A context that can be used to create other specimens.

Returns

object

The requested specimen if possible; otherwise a NoSpecimen instance.

Remarks

The request can be any object, but will often be a `Type` or other `MemberInfo` instances.

Note to implementers: Implementations are expected to return a `NoSpecimen` instance if they can't satisfy the request.
