    <p>Background : </p> <p>I'm working on a Visual Studio 2010 test project for UI testing using Selenium web driver underlying. For which,</p> <p>I have defined [TestClass] named <em>TestCases</em> which is derived from <em>base</em> <strong>TestUtil</strong> class which contains some generic utilities to accept test configuraiont data.</p> <p>Problem: </p> <p>I need to generate Test report after successful completion of <strong>all</strong> test cases execution. Thus, I've decided to put all reporting activities related code in my <em>[ClassCleanup]</em> method.</p> <p>Actual problem is, A part of the reporting code actually depends on Config parameters from <em>base</em> <strong>TestUtil</strong> class. But since, My <em>[ClassCleanup]</em> method is <strong>Static</strong>, I'm not able to access all config parameters in my <em>[ClassCleanup]</em> reporting activities code.</p> <p>My <em>TestClass</em> looks like: </p> <pre><code> [TestClass] public class TestCases : TestCaseUtil { Browser browser; int stepNo; private static string configFilesLocation = String.Empty; //private static string /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Defines test context /// &lt;/summary&gt; private TestContext testContextInstance; /// &lt;summary&gt; ///Gets or sets the test context which provides ///information about and functionality for the current test run. ///&lt;/summary&gt; public TestContext TestContext { get { return testContextInstance; } set { testContextInstance = value; } } /// &lt;summary&gt; /// TestCases Class Constructor /// &lt;/summary&gt; public TestCases() { // Loads config data and creates a Singleton object of Configuration and loads data into generic test case variables GetConfigData(); /// Get debug viewer exe file path configFilesLocation = PrepareConfigureDataFilePath(); /// Prepare log directory details from xml file PrepareLogDirectoryPath(configFilesLocation); /// Initialize browser instance browser = null; applicationLog = null; stepNo = 1; } /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Test case to verify if create module and corresponding event works fine. /// &lt;/summary&gt; [Ignore] [TestMethod, Description("Test case to verify if create module and corresponding event works fine.")] public void CreateAndVerifyEvent() { ///Test in Progress } /// &lt;summary&gt; **/// Test clean up activities** /// &lt;/summary&gt; [TestCleanup] public void Cleanup() { **/// Test Clean up activities here** } /// &lt;summary&gt; **/// Test Class cleanup activities here** /// &lt;/summary&gt; [ClassCleanup] public static void TestClassCleanupClass() { **/// This is **Reporting Code**** try { **/// This code contains methods call and variable call from Base class (TestUtils), Which are obviously not working since Base class is not static class.** string ExecutionStartDateTime = GetValuesFromXML("TestDataConfig", "ExecutionStartDateTime", configFilesLocation + "\\RunTime.xml"); //startTimeOfExecution = Convert.ToDateTime(ExecutionStartDateTime.ToString()); //endTimeOfExecution = DateTime.Now; // Generate custome html report form csv logs AutomationReport automationReport = new AutomationReport(logFileDirectory, reportFileDirectory, server, Convert.ToDateTime(ExecutionStartDateTime.ToString()), DateTime.Now); embeddedMailContents = automationReport.CompileReportFromCSV(); // Prepare path for zip file string zippedFolderPath = reportFileDirectory + ".zip"; // Zip the custome html report folder FileZipOperations fileZipOperations = new FileZipOperations(reportFileDirectory, zippedFolderPath, null); fileZipOperations.ZipFiles(); } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("Test Clean not succeed" + e.Message); } finally { } } } } </code></pre> <ol> <li>My Base Class is simple Non-static class with few configuration utilities.</li> <li>My Reporting class is a different that too non static and simple one.</li> </ol> <p>Is there any way i can call all non static function and variable from <em>STATIC</em> *[ClassCleanup]* method? or any other way i can achieve the same?</p>

    1. COYou can't call non static methods without in instance. If your test class has still got the instances floating around, you can call the cleanup methods on those. Alternatively, cache them in a static list so that your cleanup method will have scope to that?

    2. COi do have a floating instance created via constructor, but doing this. or base. isn't either allowed in static methods, Thus not able to scope it. cache them in a static list? how it can possibly done?

    3. COOk, create a static list in the same scope as your cleanup method. The static cleanup method would then have scope to this list, and can call cleanup on any object in it. Then, during your test, have each test object put them on the static list. There may be a more elegant way of doing it, but I don't know enough about the framework you're using, hence this is a comment and not an answer ;)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
