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

Show/Hide formatting text in MS Word 2010

Image
Was updating a MS Word 2010 document and coming from a WordPerfect background I like to see the formatting text when I'm editing. A quick search found this: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-word/view-hidden-text/0db765e8-0f42-476e-88dc-267eccdbf45b  That pointed me in the right direction. You click on the File  tab then click Options .  On the Word Options  dialog click on the Display  option on the left menu bar.  Then check the "Show all formatting marks" checkbox. Like this: Or if you only want to see specific formatting marks you can pick and choose between "Tab characters", "Spaces", "Paragraph marks", "Hidden text", "Optional hyphens", and "Object anchors".

Interface Oriented Code Organization(IOCO)

Image
When I started experimenting with TDD  and specifically writing the test first, I had a sudden realization as I began to contemplate where should I place this new test I was about to create.  I realized that the simplest place for the test would be in a folder structure that matched the UI for a web app or the API for a web API, and then quickly realized it would be helpful to have the production code folder structure match as well. I had been working on several large complex code bases, some web apps, and some web APIs, and trying to find the code that needed to change or where to add new code wasn't obvious from the code organization. The code was organized in the layered architecture style with UI layer, Service Layer, Repository Layer, etc. kind of like the structure Microsoft uses in  "Traditional N-Layer architecture applications" . With folders for Controllers, Views, ViewModels, etc. This architecture-oriented code organization(AOCO) is really good at telling you
