We have a project that has over 100 WinForms bound to DataSets. We want to implement UI automation for testing purpose but our testers complain that most controls inside the forms have generic names like gridControl1, gridControl2, ... They want more specific names, for example if a grid gridControl2 is bound to a table inv_Adjustment, the name of the grid should be inv_AdjustmentDataGrid.

Is it possible in CodeIt.Right to create a custom rule that looks in code for something like:

gridControl2.DataMember = "Inv_Adjustment";

and rename gridControl2 to inv_AdjustmentGridControl?

If this is too much, what would be the best approach?

Thank you,

Yes, this rule is possible although it is not the easiest one to write. You basically would need to search through the code object model for a particular expression for each grid control... We may have resource to help you with the rule once we reach a milestone end of next week.

Yes, I can wait, thanks for offering to help
