.NET Forum / Languages / C# / March 2008Awareness of user control TestContainer
In my code for a custom user control, is there a way to determine whether or not I am inside the standard user control TestContainer? I was hoping that I could perhaps examine a unique characteristic of the parent, if it is accessible. Ultimately what I would like to do is exercise more of my custom control than just seeing how it renders, something along the lines of: if inside the TestContainer, then show a hidden "Step" button. I could then press the Step button to make the control do some action; press it again for the next action, etc. I am running VS2008, with .NET 2 or 3 or 3.5. Hi Michael, As or the custom user control, do you mean the ascx user control(or a custom server control)? I'm still not quite sure about the "TestContainer" you mentioned, is it the parent container of a control on page at runtime?Generally, for any ASP.NET server control on page, it will have a NamingContainer(if it is not the top level control), and this NamingContainer will affect the control's actual UniqueID and ClientID when rendering. Control can access its NamingContainer through the "NamingContainer" property at runtime. Sincerely, Steven Cheng Microsoft MSDN Online Support Lead Delighting our customers is our #1 priority.

The User Control TestContainer is a vehicle of Visual Studio that automatically runs a user control when you press F5 for a user control library project. Thanks for the reply Michael, Seems I also incorrectly assume that this is an ASP.NET issue(as I often see your posts on ASP.NET :) ).

The User Control >TestContainer is a vehicle of Visual Studio that automatically runs a user >control when you press F5 for a user control library project. Hi Michael, Thank you for your reply! Based on my understanding, you have a user control class library project which contains a custom user control and you create a test project for the custom user control. What you want is to determine from within the custom control's code whether the custom control is created inside a test container. If I'm off base, please feel free to let me know. IMO, the custom control has no chance to know whether it is created inside a test container or not. All classes and methods provided by the Unit Testing Framework are used in test class and methods, rather that in the classes or methods to test. A workaround of your question is to add a property of type bool in the custom control to indicate whether it is initialized inside a test container or not. The default value of this property is false. You can set this property to true from within the test method. You can then decide how the custom control renders depending on this bool property. Hope this helps. If you have any question, please feel free to let me know. Sincerely, Linda Liu Microsoft Online Community Support Delighting our customers is our #1 priority.
