unable to get Data.IterationIndex property inside class method.

[Priyanka]

Hi Telerik team,

I want to use one method in multiple tests of same project so for that i have create the class in namespace and create the method inside that class.
using the below link referance:-
http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/code-samples/general/utility-in-standalone.aspx

In that method, i have to write the data in excel sheet based on some condition.
For writing data to the current row i am using excelApp.Cells[Data.IterationIndex + 2 , 1] = "Pass: Record save"; 
But  i am getting following error: 
c:\Users\priyanka.kadam\Documents\Test Studio Projects\Test_Validations\Function_CheckAlert.tstest.cs: Line 48: (CS0103) The name 'Data' does not exist in the current context
c:\Users\priyanka.kadam\Documents\Test Studio Projects\Test_Validations\Function_CheckAlert.tstest.cs: Line 54: (CS0103) The name 'Data' does not exist in the current context

Please help me to resolve this problem at earliest as possible.

Thanks,

Hello Priyanka,

"Data" is an object that is defined in the base class "BaseWebAiiTest", which is the base class for all Test Studio test code behind files. Since your utility class does not derive from this base class, you are not inheriting its definition. But please do NOT use BaseWebAiiTest for your utility class because the base class will not get initialized properly, including the Data object.

Instead you can do one of two things:

• Pass "Data" as a parameter to your utility class methods
• Pass "Data" as a parameter to the constructor of your utility class, store it in a variable and refer to the variable in your utility class methods
