ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo Not Working After Visual Studio and IE Upgrade

[Tim Costantino]

I recently updated to Visual Studio 2013 and IE11 and now my Automated UI tests are no longer working...

Issue: NavigateTo no longer appears to be working.  The browser launches but the page simply stays on "Blank".

Any ideas on how to fix?

Code:

// Initialize the settings
Settings mySettings = new Settings();

// Set the default browser
mySettings.Web.DefaultBrowser = BrowserType.InternetExplorer;

// Create the manager object
Manager myManager = new Manager(mySettings);

// Start the manager
myManager.Start();

// Launch a new browser instance. [This will launch an IE instance given the setting above]
myManager.LaunchNewBrowser();
myManager.ActiveBrowser.WaitUntilReady();

// Navigate to a certain web page
myManager.ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://www.thewebsite.com");

//Never actually loads the website above. )c:

Hi Tim,

The reason why you are experiencing these issues is because we do not yet support Visual Studio 2013. We already have a feature request logged for this,  and our developers are working hard, so we could have a preview next month. 

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello Anurag,

I am not able to reproduce this issue. This code sample works just fine on my machine. I've recorded a short video for demonstration. Am I doing something different than you? 

Could you please describe me better your environment - what OS you are using and version of Telerik Testing Framework.
Can you try to reproduce this issue with our latest internal build 2013.1.1120. You can download it from here. 

Looking forward to hearing from you.
