How do you programatically get test results into a variable

[smullin]

I am trying to create my own report and need to get the status (success / fail) of a validaton. How do I get that into a variable.

Hello,

In general the return value of the Validate.Exists() method is a bool.
If the validation failed, the return value is False otherwise it is True.
You can just write it in a variable using the following code:

string myVar = Validate.Exists(path, searchTimeout, message, exceptionOnFail).ToString();

You can just write it in your report using Report.Info(myVar).
Please let me know if you need more information or assistance.
