Rhino mock an abstract class w/o mocking its virtual method?

Can I execute the body of a virtual method that lives on an abstract class which has been mocked using Rhino Mocks?

To be clear, I'm not trying to mock the behavior of the virtual method. I'm trying to /test/ the virtual method (on the mocked class).

Is this idea a blatant misuse of Rhino Mocks?

Yes, that should be absolutely fine. I can't say I've tried it, but I'd be very surprised if it failed.

EDIT: I suspect you want the PartialMock method. Here's an example:

using System;
using Rhino.Mocks;

public abstract class Abstract
{
    public virtual int Foo()
    {
        return Bar() * 2;
    }

    public abstract int Bar();        
}

class Test
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        MockRepository repository = new MockRepository();
        Abstract mock = repository.PartialMock<Abstract>();

        using (repository.Record())
        {
            Expect.Call(mock.Bar()).Return(5);
        }

        Console.WriteLine(mock.Foo()); // Prints 10
    }
}

EDIT: Or in my first attempt at AAA:

using System;
using Rhino.Mocks;

public abstract class Abstract
{
    public virtual int Foo()
    {
        return Bar() * 2;
    }

    public abstract int Bar();        
}

class Test
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Arrange
        Abstract mock = MockRepository.GeneratePartialMock<Abstract>();
        mock.Stub(action => action.Bar()).Return(5);

        // Act
        int result = mock.Foo();

        // Assert
        mock.AssertWasCalled(x => x.Bar());
        // And assert that result is 10...
    }
}

You need to tell Rhino.Mocks to call back to the original implementation instead of doing its default behavior of just intercepting the call:

var mock = MockRepository.GenerateMock<YourClass>();
mock.Setup(m => m.Foo()).CallOriginalMethod(OriginalCallOptions.NoExpectation);

Now you can call the Foo() method on your mock object.
