I think I'd call that the C# 3.0 compiler.

I thought you don't want to hit the database (or other external resources) while running your tests and that's the main reason to use mock objects

My colleague told me that when I'm testing that method I should use the concrete class and actually hit the database, and that I should mock IUserRepository only when it's needed in other tests (which are not testing FetchByID() but need data from it). Is that the correct approach?

public class UserRepository : IUserRepository
{
    IUserDataContainer container;
    public UserRepository(IUserDataContainer container)
    {
         this.container = container;
    }

    public IUser FetchByID(int userID)
    {
        User user = null;

        // Do various checks.
        // Fetch data from DB and assign to the user variable.
        UserDTO dto = dataContainer.FetchUserFrom(userId);
        user = UserConverter.ConvertFrom(dto);
        return user;
    }
}

[Test]
public void CanFetchUserById()
{
    UserRepository repository = new UserRepository();
    IUser user = repository.FetchUserById(1);
    Assert.That(user != NULL);
    Assert.AreEqual(user.Id,1);
    Assert.AreEqual(user.Name,"Jim");
}

public IUser FetchByID(int userID)
{
    throw new NotImplementedException();

Are you using inbuilt testing tools in VS or tools like NUnit ?

public IUser FetchByID(int userID)
{
    IUser user =
        new UserController().FetchByID(userID).ExecuteTypedList<User>()[0];
