Constructs a self-mock from the services available in the container. A self-mock is a concrete object that has virtual and abstract members mocked. The purpose is so that you can test the majority of a class but mock out a resource. This is great for testing abstract classes, or avoiding breaking cohesion even further with a non-abstract class.

public T CreateSelfMock<T>()
    where T : class

parameter	description
T	The instance that you want to build

Return Value
