Question

I am using WATIN 2.1 with C#. Here is my Code

// Should I add something here like []
private void ProcessInkPresenter()
{
    String path = "http://localhost/index.asp?HOSTID=AD&USERID=&ALIAS=" + userName;
    Int32 startingRow = 1;
    using (var browser = new IE(path))
    {
        browser.AutoClose = true;
        try
        {
            try
            {
                browser.Image(Find.ByAlt("Use a password")).Click();
                browser.WaitForComplete(90);
                browser.TextField(Find.ByName("_MYPW")).TypeText(privateCurrentPassword);

                // the application keeps crashing in the line above
                // WatiN.Core.Exceptions.RunScriptException : RunScript failed
                //      ----> System.UnauthorizedAccessException : Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

                browser.Image(Find.ByAlt("Verify password")).Click();
                browser.Link(Find.ByTitle("Change passwords")).Click();
                browser.TextField(Find.ByName("_NEWP1")).TypeText(privateNewPassword);
                browser.TextField(Find.ByName("_NEWP2")).TypeText(privateNewPassword);
                browser.Image(Find.ByName("SUBMIT-CHANGE")).Click();

I basically need to get this to work with Internet Explorer 7 and up on Windows XP.
Can you please help me with this?

I added the CRASH details in the code above

Thanks

Answer 1

Is the field found?

var field = browser.TextField(Find.ByName("_MYPW"));
if(field.Exists)
    field.TypeText(privateCurrentPassword);

I had a similar issue trying to get an HTML5 input type email.
It could also be other reasons watin can’t get to the field.
