How to assign a variable to a resource file path?

Question

Hi,

I have a resource file in a folder which is a sub folder of another folder (Object_Repository--->Web_Objects--->Page1Web_Objects). So in order to access data in resource file (Page1Web_Objects), I need to use whole hierarchy path like:

Object_Repository.Web_Objects.Page1Web_Objects.XXX.

Can't I assign this hierarchy to a variable and use that variable in order to access data?

I want to write a code as:

public static object Page1Objects = Object_Repository.Web_Objects.Page1Web_Objects; // this gives error.

Properties.Edit(Page1Objects.XXX);

How to achieve this?

Thanks,

Jyothi Priya

Hi Jyothi,

Since this forum is to discuss the coded UI test. Just to make this issue clearly, do you mean that you are create a coded UI test for a Web app? We know that we often use the coded UI test to test the UI controls, what real result did you want to test?

Object_Repository.Web_Objects.Page1Web_Objects.XXX.

Is it a control? Do you mean that you want to use the property value of a control?

Best Regards,

Hi Jack,

I'm using coded UI to automate an web application. I'm not using UIMap but instead I'm hand coding coded ui test.

Object_Repository is a folder in my solution. Web_Objects is a sub folder of 'Object_Repository'. I placed a resource file 'Page1Web_Objects' in the sub folder 'Web_Objects', where I'm storing data. So in order to retrieve this data, I need to use whole folder path as 'Object_Repository.Web_Objects.Page1Web_Objects.Data'. What I'm asking is I want to assign this folder path i.e., 'Object_Repository.Web_Objects.Page1Web_Objects' to a variable and make use of that variable to retrieve data in the resource file. How to do that?

Hi Jyothi,

So you want to write data to a file, am I right?

Actually, there isn’t targeted sample writing data to a file/DB from the test method, but it would be supported as it is in the C#/VB.NET program.

So try to find the examples of reading/write data into a file/DB that would meet your need.

Like this MSDN document “How to: Write Text to a File”:

static void Main(string[] args)

    {

        string mydocpath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

        foreach (string txtName in Directory.EnumerateFiles(mydocpath,"*.txt"))

        {

            using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(txtName))

            {

                sb.AppendLine(txtName.ToString());

                sb.AppendLine("= = = = = =");

                sb.Append(sr.ReadToEnd());

                sb.AppendLine();

                sb.AppendLine();

            }

        }

        using (StreamWriter outfile = new StreamWriter(mydocpath + @"\AllTxtFiles.txt"))

        {

            outfile.Write(sb.ToString());

        }

    }

}

I did some research about it, and I found a similar thread, if possible, you could check it, hope it could help.
