You might be trying to test at too deep a starting point. A test does not need to be created to test each and every method individually; private and static methods should be tested by calling the public methods that then call the private and static ones in turn.

So lets say your code is like this:

public object GetData()
{
 object obj1 = GetDataFromWherever();
 object obj2 = TransformData(obj1);
 return obj2;
} 
private static object TransformData(object obj)
{
//Do whatever
}

You do not need to write a test against the TransformData method (and you can't). Instead write a test for the GetData method that tests the work done in TransformData.
