Test for storing and retrieving objects

[rcanter]

VS 2010, 4.0....C# and NUnit
Hoping someone can help me out. I am trying to store and retrieve items from an interface and create Nunit tests on them and am lost. I believe the impl and interface are correct but I am having problems figuring out how to write the tests to test that the item was stored, retrieved and then compare the two to see if they are the same.

    public class ItemSvcIntTest 
    {
        [Test]
        public void ValidateStoreItem()
        {
            IitemSvcInt serv1 = new ItemSvcBinaryImpl();
            serv1.StoreItem(new Item("Stock", "Dark Rival", "Masters of Time", "Brenda Joyce", "Book", "Time Travel", true));
            Assert.AreEqual(serv1, serv1); 
        }

        public void ValidateRetrieveItem()
        {

        }
    }

            if (title == null)
                return false;
            return true;
        } 
    }

    // Declare type to process item.
    public delegate void ProcessItemDelegate(Item item);
}

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated :-)

I've changed the test and the compare is failing. Any ideas as to why??

using NUnit.Framework;
    [TestFixture]

    public class ItemSvcIntTest 
    {
        [Test]
        public void ValidateItem()
        {       
            IitemSvcInt itemA = new ItemSvcBinaryImpl();
            itemA.StoreItem(new Item("Stock", "Dark Rival", "Masters of Time", "Brenda Joyce", "Book", "Time Travel", true));
            Assert.IsNotNull(itemA);
            
            IitemSvcInt itemB = new ItemSvcBinaryImpl();
            itemB.RetrieveItem();
            Assert.IsNotNull(itemB);
            
            Assert.AreEqual(itemA, itemB);
        }
    }
}
