I have custom method and want to get int parameter for it from Excel.
If I use following statement:
following error occurs
System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.
How I could get parameter for method from Excel?
If I use following statement:
Pages.RegistrationPage.Field_FirstName.Text = GenerateUniqueId((int)Data["FirstName"]);following error occurs
System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.

Hello Alexander,
even though you're reading a number from the Excel, it's actually stored as a String and should be extracted as a String.
So just change your cast to String:

Hi Alexander,
you can use a simple conversion:

you can use a simple conversion:
int Fn = Convert.ToInt32(Data["FirstName"] );Pages.RegistrationPage.Field_FirstName.Text = GenerateUniqueId(Fn);Regards,

Your adviсe helped me. Thank you.
Could you please help me with another problem with this code.
I have following:
I use static variables in the beginning of code-behind file because I use it later:
But if I use data from Excel I get following error
An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.BaseWebAiiTest.Data.get'
How I should rewrite my code to use data from Excel?

Hi Alexander,
you need a setter function for that.
Instead of doing this:
do this:
Since obj is static, you shouldn't need to invoke setObjValue() more than once per iteration. You can try calling the setter function from inside of OnBeforeTestStarted()
http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/code-samples/general/execute-custom-scripts-before-after-test.aspx
But I'm not sure that's invoked for each individual iteration when doing data-driven testing.

I tried to write some code but it can't be compiled
"Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'string'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)"
For string
static object fullNameValue;public void test1_CodedStep() { setObjValue(); Log.WriteLine(fullNameValue.ToString());}public void setObjValue() { //Setter function fullNameValue = UniqueIdGenerator.GenerateUniqueId(Convert.ToInt32(Data["FullNameLength"]));}[CodedStep(@"Enter text in 'Field_FullName'")] public void FillFullName() { // Enter text in 'Field_FullName' Pages.SitecoreCMS.Field_FullName.Text = fullNameValue; }For string
Pages.SitecoreCMS.Field_FullName.Text = fullNameValue;0
Hello Alexander,
we store the value from the datasource into an instance of an Object. In the following line:
the compiler is expecting a String variable but you're giving it an Object variable instead. Since the Object actually is a String (String is an extension of Object as are all other classes) we need to basically assure the compiler that it's OK and it's a String in the disguise. To do that we can add a simple cast:
If you google such compilation errors you will definitely find good tips on how to resolve them as well a description on why the error occurred and how it can be avoided in the future (better than any explanation I could provide).

Finally my code is
But if I run it
public class PricingForm : BaseWebAiiTest{ private Pages _pages; public Pages Pages { get { if (_pages == null) { _pages = new Pages(Manager.Current); } return _pages; } } static object fullNameValue; public void test1_CodedStep() { setObjValue(); Log.WriteLine(fullNameValue.ToString()); } public void setObjValue() { //Setter function fullNameValue = UniqueIdGenerator.GenerateUniqueId(Convert.ToInt32(Data["FullNameLength"])); } [CodedStep(@"Enter text in 'Field_FullName'")] public void FillFullName() { // Enter text in 'Field_FullName' Pages.SitecoreCMS.Field_FullName.Text = (string)fullNameValue; } [CodedStep(@"Enter text in 'Field_GridFindCriteria'")] public void EnteringTextInSearch() { // Enter text in 'Field_GridFindCriteria' Pages.AccountsMyActiveAccounts.FrameContentIFrame.Field_GridFindCriteria.Text = fullNameValue; }}fullNameValue in FillFullName method has null value. Why it happens?0
Hello Alexander,
try invoking the function setObjValue() right before you access the variable. Like this:

Thanks for your answer.
I found workaround for my code:
and so on for all variables.
I found workaround for my code:
string _fullNameValue;string fullNameValue{ get { if (_fullNameValue == null) _fullNameValue = UniqueIdGenerator.GenerateUniqueId(Convert.ToInt32(this.Data["FullNameLength"])); return _fullNameValue; }}
