Dynamic Proxy
How to make a simple dynamic proxy in C#
You could do this with a combination of System.Dynamic.DynamicObject and ImpromptuInterface but you will have to have an Interface that implements the functions and properties you want to proxy.
https://github.com/ekonbenefits/impromptu-interface
public interface IDoStuff { void Foo(); } public class Wrapper<T> : DynamicObject { private readonly T _wrappedObject; public static T1 Wrap<T1>(T obj) where T1 : class { if (!typeof(T1).IsInterface) throw new ArgumentException("T1 must be an Interface"); return new Wrapper<T>(obj).ActLike<T1>(); } //you can make the contructor private so you are forced to use the Wrap method. private Wrapper(T obj) { _wrappedObject = obj; } public override bool TryInvokeMember(InvokeMemberBinder binder, object[] args, out object result) { try { //do stuff here //call _wrappedObject object result = _wrappedObject.GetType().GetMethod(binder.Name).Invoke(_wrappedObject, args); return true; } catch { result = null; return false; } } }
You could off course choose to lose the type-safety and go with a DynamicObject like I showed and then drop the duck-casting.
I made a transparant extendible version of this object proxy, and opensourced it here.
