Is there any ability to mock methods that are provided with RIA Services?

I would like to test my Silverlight App without communication to the server side...

I see a following approach:

create a separate interface;
add it to "base classes" for my RiaService;
define each autogenerated RIA-method in this interface;
insert dependency so that my "functionality" will depend not from the RiaService, but from the interface that is implemented with RiaService.

But for this case I see a problem: how to keep my interface in the auto-generated files?

ANy thoughts are welcome.
