WatiN Web Test and Web Automation tool

WatiN is an awesome web test and web automation tool. I've been using it to automate the montly uploading of data to a site. This was the best IE solution I could find, and it is fantastic. Selenium & Firefox are another great tool combination. I really like Selenium but the coding of the web site wouldn't work with Firefox.

In case WatiN doesn't work with a particular dialog, be sure to check out the methods CanHandleDialog(Window window). WatiN did not originally work with FileUpload element of a particular web site. It worked with several other web site using various FileUpload elements. The solution was to modify the method FileUploadDialogHandler.CanHandleDialog(Window window).

  public override bool CanHandleDialog(Window window)
  {
            return (window.StyleInHex == "96CC20C4") || (window.StyleInHex == "96CC02C4")
                || (window.StyleInHex == "97CC02C4") || (window.StyleInHex == "97CC02C4");
  }

For some reason the style for the upload file dialog was different. I'm not sure if this was caused by a newer browser version, web site, or Windows 7. But once I added the new styles it worked fine.

In summary an awesome tool!
