Is there an easy way to retrieve attribute values in code

[S]

I am trying to verify that a field contains the current date.  I saw an example on your website where someone used code to retrieve the InnerText of an element, unfortunately I can't get to the text using the innerText field, instead the date field is available in the element attribute labled "Value".

I've tried various variations of el.attribute.item("value).value or el.attribute.item(3).value but nothing I've tried seems to work, if anyone has an example of vb code I would appreciate it.  Also, is it  possible to use telerik tools to extract the value of a field in step A and then use that extracted value in coded step B? The video on your website doesn't make it clear if extracted values can be used in code. 

Thanks again for your help

Hello S,
    yes, you can use extracted values in code quite easily. For instance let's say you have an extract step as seen in screenshot 1. This step stores its extracted value in a variable ModalWindowsH1Tag. You can access it in code like this:

String myExtractedValue = GetExtractedValue("ModalWindowsH1Tag");

All the best,
