  Brain,

  Thank you for your valuable information, but still my problem not solved...

  I tried according to Kevin Cogger blog implementation but no luck.

  I am getting NullReference exception for

  Page page = testContextInstance.RequestedPage;

  In my case the RequestedPage object is always showing null

  This is my code snipet....

  using System;
  using System.Web.UI;
  using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
  using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
  using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.Web;

  namespace TeamSystem.Pilot.UnitTests

  {

  [TestClass]

  public MySampleUnitTest

  {

  private TestContext testContextInstance;
  
  public TestContext TestContext
  {
  get { return testContextInstance; }
  set { testContextInstance = value; }
  }
  

  //ctor

  [TestMethod]

  [[UrlToTest(http://localhost:3344/TeamSystemPilotApp)]

  public void PageTest()

  {

  Page page = testContextInstance.RequestedPage;
  Button button = (Button)page.FindControl("Button1");

  Assert.AreEqual("MyTestButton", button.Text);

  }

  }

  }

  I configured my ASP.NET Development server port to 3344 ( changed dynamic port assignment feature) and I have MasterPage.master and Default.aspx in my web aplication folder and I selected Host as default from testrunconfig file under solution items and my Test requirement is

  1. Verify whether MasterPage.master contains requied controls ( like navigation,grid and some buttons) or not. I need get Page object and need find the controls with that page object. I think I explained clearly. Any help from your side

  Thanks,

  Anjee

  Hello
  

  If you are using the ASP.Net Development server and not IIS then it appears that you did not attribute your test correctly. Take a look at the following MSDN links.
  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182526.aspx

  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualstudio.testtools.unittesting.hosttypeattribute.aspx

  For Example you only have the following:
  [TestMethod]

  [[UrlToTest(http://localhost:3344/TeamSystemPilotApp)]

  However the docs state that you need the following:
  Example 1. If you are running your Web site with the ASP.NET Development Server, the attributes and values you set for an ASP.NET unit test might resemble the following:

  [TestMethod()]

  [HostType("ASP.NET")]

  [UrlToTest("http://localhost:25153/WebSite1")]

  [AspNetDevelopmentServerHost("D:\\Documents and Settings\\user name\\My Documents\\Visual Studio 2005\\WebSites\\WebSite1", "/WebSite1")]

  If you follow the steps in the first link it should create the correct attributes for your test method.

  Hi,

  Now I am able to get the page object by doing the code like this...

  [TestMethod()]

  [HostType("ASP.NET")]

  [UrlToTest("myurl\default.aspx")]

  [AspNetDevelopmentServerHost("webapp physical dir", "/WebApprootdir")]

  public void mySamplTest()

  {

  Page page = testContextInstance.RequestedPage;

  }

  still I am not succeeded to get the title name of the page.

  I have a masterpage.master and default.aspx ( which is content page) and am trying to get the title text throuth the page .

  The masterpage's title attribute is assigned as "master page" in masterpage.master and default.aspx's title attribute is assigned as "testpage" and inthe default.aspx.cs's Page_Load handler am changing the page title to "changedtestpage" as follows

  this.Page.Title = "changedtestpage";

  and am trying to get title from my test funcation as follows

  Page page = testContextInstance.RequestedPage;

  string strTitle = (string)page.Title;

  But strTitle value is alway getting only "testpage" not "changedtest". Any help

  Thanks,

  anjee

  I am also struggling with the same problem, sort of. I can get it to work if my page is directly under the root, but if a page is under a subfolder, say, 'main' I continue to get a null reference exception. Even if I do something like this:
  
  [TestMethod()]
  [HostType("ASP.NET")]
  [AspNetDevelopmentServerHost("J:\\My Documents\\Visual Studio 2008\\Projects\\WSSMZoneSolution\\WSSMZoneWeb", "/main")]
  [UrlToTest("http://localhost:2611/main")]
  public void WelcomeTest() {
  Page pg =testContextInstance.RequestedPage;
  Label label = (Label) pg.FindControl("lblWelcome");
  String expected = "Welcome";
  String actual = label.Text;
  Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual);
  }
  
  Any ideas It's driving me absolutely nuts... The label's text is set at design time to, "Welcome".

  Hello
  The reason that you don't see your title change is that you have not called invoke on your Page_Load method. Remember this is a Unit test so if you want code in a method to run you must call it. For example I want to call my Page_Load and then check the value of my Page.Title I could place the following code in my TestMethod

  Page mypage = testContextInstance.RequestedPage;
  PrivateObject po = new PrivateObject(mypage);
  po.Invoke("Page_Load", mypage, EventArgs.Empty);
  Assert.AreEqual("Master Title", mypage.Title.ToString());
