# Extension methods around the Typemock Community Edition

By Roy Osherove January 29, 2008 In [Agile](https://osherove.com/blog/category/agile)

**Historical article** · Originally published January 29, 2008; technical details may be outdated.

[iridescence posted about his own wrapper API to Typemock community edition](http://www.iridescence.no/Posts/A-Type-Safe-ExpectCall-Extension-Method-for-Reflective-TypeMocks.aspx), using .net 3.5 extension methods. What this means is that you can now use the community edition of [typemock](http://typemock.com/) and not resort to use strings in your mocks (the enterprise and pro edition do support "natural mocks" which have strong typing support)

Coolness.
