Unit Testing

Hello,

I've got a simple 3 layered architecture
UI - Silverlight
Business Layer - Client/Server CSLA
DataAccess Layer - Repository Pattern

Now I've done all my unit tests for my DataAccess Layer but when I try to do the same for my Business Layer I run into a little problem with the mocking.

What I would like to do is have my unit tests on the client side (in a Silverlight application) but still be able to mock all my calls to the DataAccess Layer. This would make my tests more complete as I would know if my objects failed their serializations (or other issues that might arise).

Is there a way to do this? If so could I have a quick example.

Thanks.

I discuss this in the CSLA .NET for Silverlight video series, including code samples showing how to do a mock DAL that you can switch to through configuration.

Thanks Rocky. I'll go back to those videos.
