ACT and ASP.NET -- Fire a button on a webpage?

[Guest]

Got a test script where I want Application Center Test to log off a user I
just logged in via forms authentication. On one of my forms I have a button
called btnLogout that, when pressed, logs off the user. I recorded myself
logging on and logging off, and from the generated script I see:

oRequest.Body = "__VIEWSTATE=dDw5NjU1MTU1Ozs%2B9uu4k2OBFxBARxlvF8%2"
oRequest.Body = oRequest.Body + "F6u0Jmt8I%3D&btnLogout=Logout"


I assume that this is the correct Sub and the relevant code from the
Sub--that point at which the button is pressed and a response is sent back to
the server. Playing this back doesn't work. The following variations also
do not work:

oRequest.Body = "__VIEWSTATE=&btnLogout=Logout"
oRequest.Body = "__VIEWSTATE=btnLogout=Logout"
oRequest.Body = "&btnLogout=Logout"
oRequest.Body = "btnLogout=Logout"

What should the request body look like? I attempted to do it by sending a
GET to the page with the logoff button with "?__EVENTTARGET=btnLogout"
appended to the end, but that also didn't work.

Any hints on how to get that button to fire? TIA.

You might have to persist the viewstate. Also I *believe* viewstate is
unique to each request so you can't just hard code the viewstate.

MSDN has an article on how to handle viewstate via ACT:
