Hi,

As far as I know, integration with VS is only possible at code level. You will have to code every single action and use everything in code modules. No test suite, no repository, no recordings. A complete guide to VS integration can be found here:

Hi,

Well, you must follow the section “ Write some Ranorex automation code” in the link I posted. Basically, this is how the Ranorex automation is done in Visual Studio.

Hi,

Thanks for the information

In "Write some Ranorex automation code" there is a step which says >>>> "set the Copy Local option to False for all Ranorex assemblies except for Ranorex.Core.Resolver"

Please help me to understand where can I find this setting and update the as false for all the assemblies

Thanks

Hi,

Well, I know where to set this in Ranorex Studio, but you will have to find this setting in Visual Studio.
This is how it looks in Ranorex:

Hi,

That's the problem. Since there is no TestSuite support in Visual Studio integration, you have to code everything yourself. So I guess you will have to create multiple classes, where each class could be one test case? Is there any particular reason, why do you want to use Visual Studio instead of Ranorex Studio? To be quite honest, I see absolutely no advantage of this approach, maybe except some advanced VS features and certain integrations with other test tools and frameworks? But for general usage, Ranorex Studio is way better choice.
