Question

I use coded UI test and I have a problem. I want to type a date in edittext, but it gives an error message, where is the problem,thanks.

public void TheDate()
{
    #region Variable Declarations
    HtmlEdit uITxtDateEdit = this.UIEWindowWindow8.UIDemoSiteDocument.UITxtDateEdit;
    #endregion

    uITxtDateEdit.Text = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(4).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

Cannot perform 'SetProperty of Text with value "16.08.2013"' on the control.

Answer 1

uITxtDateEdit.Text = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(4).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");

You are trying to insert date in other format. either use dd/mm/yyyy or modify the format to dd.mm.yyyy. Secondly you have mention MM (Capital) which is used for minutes. Try this hope it resolve your issues.
