I need to ensure that, my code is inserting values to a table and it's related values to other table. So how do I use mock objects here ? Just a clue will help me to get started.

I hope that helps.

So I should write a mock object which returns IDataReader instance for testing business layer right ?

Ah... So it knows it is a database

I normally try and create some sort of DTO (Data Transfer Object) which is a simple class with just a bunch of properties (very easily mocked).

This works pretty well and I can mock IProduct easily. Is this approach correct ?
