I'm currently researching and deciding on a code coverage tool for my company, and have so far tried NCover (Bolt and Desktop), DotCover, and NCrunch. All tools I've tried so far work well for measuring/highlighting code coverage in code called directly by unit tests, but any code called through CSLA (DataPortal_Fetch, for example) is never detected as being covered. As much of our code base resides in these functions, I'm finding the tools to be next to useless for much of what I need tested and measured.
My question then is how can I get code coverage results for CSLA code? Does anyone know of a tool that would work with these kinds of calls, or certain options/extensions I can use to get coverage results with the tools I'm using?
The project is coded in C#, and I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Professional, CSLA 3.8, and .NET 4.0. I have the latest versions of NCover Bolt and DotCover (both on trial), as well as the newest OpenCover that I could find.
Thanks in advance!

If you are using NCover Desktop, you can auto-configure to detect any .NET code that is being loaded by your testing (Bolt can only profile test runners).
We have this video that shows auto-detecting NUnit, as an example: http://www.ncover.com/resources/videos/ncover-creating-a-new-code-coverage-project
And a lot of the same info in this help doc: http://www.ncover.com/support/docs/desktop/user-guide/coverage_scenarios/how_do_i_collect_data_from_nunit
