Examples

The following code examples show how a FormPostHttpBody adds form post parameters to the body of the WebTestRequest.

namespace TestProject1
{
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.WebTesting;
    using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.WebTesting.Rules;

    public class MyCodedWebTest : WebTest
    {
        public override IEnumerator<WebTestRequest> GetRequestEnumerator()
        {
            WebTestRequest request1 = new WebTestRequest("https://localhost/MyWebSite");
            request1.ThinkTime = 14;
            ExtractHiddenFields rule1 = new ExtractHiddenFields();
            rule1.ContextParameterName = "1";
            request1.ExtractValues += new EventHandler<ExtractionEventArgs>(rule1.Extract);
            yield return request1;

            WebTestRequest request2 = new WebTestRequest("https://localhost/MyWebSite/Default.aspx");
            request2.Method = "POST";
            FormPostHttpBody request2Body = new FormPostHttpBody();
            request2Body.FormPostParameters.Add("__VIEWSTATE", "{{$HIDDEN1.__VIEWSTATE}}");
            request2Body.FormPostParameters.Add("Button1", "Button");
            request2Body.FormPostParameters.Add("TextBox1", "text entered");
            request2.Body = request2Body;
            yield return request2;
        }
    }
}
