VS 2005 Team System Webtest ValidationRule on an asp:dropdownlist control

With this html:
<select name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$CompanyDropDownList" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_CompanyDropDownList" class="Normal">
  <option selected="selected" value="1">All</option>
  <option value="2">Company 1</option>
  <option value="3">Company 2</option>
  <option value="4">Company 3</option>
  <option value="5">Company 4</option>
  <option value="6">Company 5</option>
 </select>

In my webtest I wanted to verify CompanyDropDownList had selected option 2 "Company 1".
Tried Form Field with form field name ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$CompanyDropDownList but it did not work.

Using Required Attribute Value worked with the following values:

Attribute Name             value
Expected Value            2
Ignore Case                  False
Match Attribute Name    selected
Match Attribute Value    selected
Tag Name                     option

Usually what you face are a class that has many dependencies, so in your test setup, you have to create all these dependencies to inject into the constructor even though many or perhaps all of these dependencies don't even have anything to do with the part of the code you are looking to change. Or the method that you want to write a change for is private and the calling public method has a bunch of dependencies which again many will not have anything to do with the part of the code you are looking to change. You are thinking: "If only this code was in a public method it would be so much easier to test". But you may have heard somewhere that changing the code just to make it easier to test is bad.  This is a terrible line of thought that has ...
