Properties

  Name Description
Public property ContextParameterName Gets or sets the context name of the extracted property.

Methods

  Name Description
Public method Equals Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Extract When overridden in a derived class, this method extracts information from a HtmlDocument and places it into the WebTestContext.
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

The ExtractionRule class must be inherited by any extraction rule whether it is user-written or built-in. Extraction rules that are associated with the request definition are run after a response has been received, and the results of the extraction are added to the WebTestContext.

Notes to Inheritors

When you inherit from ExtractionRule, you must override the following members: Extract, RuleDescription, and RuleName.

Examples

The following custom extraction rule extracts check boxes from the HtmlDocument and places the status of the found check boxes into the context.
