I need to copy the content of a webpage and save it as an XML. I noticed that the webpage is displaying a xml file and when i click on view source, i still see an xml file but when i am using a coded step on TestStudio to get the source "ActiveBrowser.ViewSourceString.ToString", i am getting HTML code as output.
      So i need to just copy the content of the web page directly and save it as an XML.

Thank you,
Nithin

Hello Nithin,

So the XML file is being loaded directly in the browser? If so, Test Studio has no built-in functionality to deal with it. The result you see with ActiveBrowser.ViewSourceString is expected.

I came up with a work-around, however, using "Blind" Key Presses and Typing. You'll use the "Save" shortcut and specify where to save the file:

Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.Keys.ControlKey);
Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(System.Windows.Forms.Keys.S);
Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyUp(System.Windows.Forms.Keys.ControlKey);
 
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
 
string saveLocation = string.Format("test-{0:HH-mm-ss}.xml", DateTime.Now);
Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.TypeText(@"C:\temp\" + saveLocation, 5);
Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Enter);

Ensure you add a reference to System.Windows.Forms. If you prefer Visual Basic, use our code converter

Kind regards,
