Testing with Web Services

[grande]

Hi all,

I'm writing an ASP.Net 3.5 MVC application, and I'm wondering the best way to test code with webservices. Obvisouly I don't need to call the webservice for each test. Is there a way to stub it out? What's the recommended way of doing this?

As an aside question, I'm currently using the built-in testing suite. Is there a better one out there?

the webservice is just an implementation detail. it should only take a http request and pass it along to a controller. if it does more than that, refactor the web service so it's only purpose is to delegate the request to the controller.

Is there a better one out there?
