Wondering if I need to use the Genericrepository pattern and UnitOfWork to mock the repository.I am using MOQ.Is it now redundant since I have noticed that EF 4.1 has IDBSet.

I have not figured out how to write something generic that usic IDBSet .If you have an example where you implement IDBSet can you show it to me?

Any suggestions?
