[Solved] No implicit reference conversion

[David]

My test class is failing compilation on this line of code, which comes straight from the Webaii samples:

RadMaskedTextBox

 

dateBox = myManager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ById<RadMaskedTextBox>("DatePicker1");

 

The error message is as follows:

Error 1 The type 'Telerik.Web.UI.RadMaskedTextBox' cannot be used as type parameter 'TControl' in the generic type or method 'ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Find.ById<TControl>(string)'. There is no implicit reference conversion from 'Telerik.Web.UI.RadMaskedTextBox' to 'ArtOfTest.WebAii.Controls.Control'. C:\DotNet\com\fetterlogic\Platform\Standards\Trunk\ApplicationCodingStandards\ApplicationCodingStandards\UnitTests\DatePickerTests.cs 46 39 ApplicationCodingStandards_Web

Does anybody have any idea why this might be failing?

Thanks!

Hello David,

The WebAii RadControls wrappers reside in their own assembly namely Telerik.WebAii.Controls.Html, which you need to refer. Instead, from the error you pasted it seems you attempt to use Telerik.Web.UI.RadMaskedTextBox in a WebAii test, which is not possible.

Generally you compile the WebAii tests in a Test Project where the RadControls have no place. The WebAii tests launch the browser, navigate to the page under test and execute there.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Thanks, Konstantin. That is helpful. Can you tell me where to get the Telerik.WebAii.Controls.Html dll?
