How to use webaii along with visualstudio test

[Naga]

We have been using VS Test projects for coded web tests for a while now. We are also using RADControls in our project.
My question is how to use WebAII features say for ex Find.ById etc in my exisiting VS Test Project?

Hello Naga,

If I understand how your coded web tests works, I don't think it's possible. I believe that Visual Studio coded web tests work by sending HTTP requests directly to the server and then studying/validating the responses from the server. They do not launch a browser and interact with a browser, correct?

The WebAii framework works by launching a real browser, hooking into it and then driving it just like a real user were sitting there would use it. Our Find.Byxxx functions are locating elements contained within the DOM of the browser itself.

Technically you could mix code for both into the same project/program, but I don't really see any way of making them cooperate together. Or have I guessed wrong how your Visual Studio coded web tests work? If so please clarify and we'll see what can be done to make them work together.
