Unit Testing with Visual Studio AND Large Datasets

I'm looking for a good reference (to a webpage or book) on unit testing in Visual Studio with large datasets (with the native unit testing tools in Visual Studio). (I've got Visual Studio 2008 Professional.) Any clue?

Thank you Sandeep.

Your 1st link looks interesting. One question though: the article (and the 2nd as well) talks about Visual Studio Team System 2005 and I have Visual Studio 2008 Professional. Is this applicable to Visual Studio 2008 Professional?

(What I forgot to mention in my initial post is that I extensively googled on this subject, but did not find any thing comprehensible and applicable to large datasets.)
Edit: corrected the name into Visual Studio Team System 2005.

On a general basis, yes it should be applicable and backward compatible.

I'm reading throught the 1st link. Under "Adding a Test Database" adding a database file to the project is not working, I'm afraid. I can add a SQL Server compact database, but can't access it from my test project. Any clues? (I do like to keep the database file with my test project.) (I could add a database to SQL Server and put the files in the directory of my test project.)

"Code Coverage" doesn't seem to be included in Visual Studio 2008 Professional. Pity.

The first link is interesting (as I already mentioned). It shows how to use a database as input for testing. Thanks for that. The database is used for input of (single) parameter values.
The second link has more the testing of a database and the methods to access the database as a focus.
The third link shows a decent number of articles that explain the basics of unit testing in Visual Studio.
My project though involves methods that do calculations on long time series (of mutual fund returns) that need at least 36 months of returns for multiple mutual funds. What I'm looking for is a tutorial on how to test this project (using one or a couple of fixed data sets). Any references?

Nups, not with me for now!

Post the question again with more details (like the above comment) and see if someone can help.
