• Using Webtest 2017 Why does my Form Post Parameters flip after I checkout the code from the repository?

  Using: Webtest 2017 Note: I'm a webtest newbie

  I recorded a few steps on a webpage and on one of the pages I am selecting a file I want to upload. In the Webtest script I have a Form Post Parameters folder with two parameters. One being license and the other being File Upload Parameter. When I record the request using Fiddler the request is FileUpload first and license last. Webtest for some reason has license then FileUpload. If I run the test with license then Fileupload the script fails. So I manually cut and paste to have Fileupload and then license, the test will pass. However when I check in my code and then check out the code, the code has license first and Fileupload second so the script will fail.

  I'd like to share the script but I am not allowed. So I added the lines below.

  Is there a setting I don't have turned on that causes these two files to switch? It could be something simple, but I don't know. I tried to separate the request and have 1 being the fileupload and the second being license, but that wont work. Sorry again that this is a high level description. Let me know if there's anything else I can add to this message to help explain the issue I'm having.

  Note: I took a look at the XML and it seems to be setup correctly.

   <FormPostHttpBody>
              <FileUploadParameter 
   Name="DataSource1.Upload_Submit_App#csv.UploadApp" FileName={{DataSource1.Upload_Submit_App#csv.UploadApp}}" ContentType="application/x- 
  zip-compressed" GenerateUniqueName="False" UseGuids="False" FileUploadName=" 
  {{DataSource1.Upload_Submit_App#csv.UploadApp}}" HtmlEncodeFileName="True" 
   />
  
   <FormPostParameter Name="license" Value="{&quot;licenseType&quot;:&quot;Free&quot;,&quot;basePrice&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;IsPerDeviceLicense&quot;:false,&quot;trialType&quot;:&quot;TimeBased&quot;,&quot;trialDays&quot;:30,&quot;trialCredits&quot;:100,&quot;usageUnit&quot;:&quot;&quot;}" RecordedValue="{&quot;licenseType&quot;:&quot;Free&quot;,&quot;basePrice&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;IsPerDeviceLicense&quot;:false,&quot;trialType&quot;:&quot;TimeBased&quot;,&quot;trialDays&quot;:30,&quot;trialCredits&quot;:100,&quot;usageUnit&quot;:&quot;&quot;}" CorrelationBinding="" UrlEncode="True" />
            </FormPostHttpBody>
  
• VB.Net default form instance

  I have replaced (regex) all accesses to the default form instances in my project and I now want to make sure that I'm not using the default instances any more.

  It seems that the default instances feature can't be disabled (without changing the classes' ctor)

  Anybody know how to find all usages of the default form instances in VB.Net (or - access to non-shared members using the class name)

  FYI: I'm using VS2017 with ReSharper
• Visual Studio 2017 15.6.6 is very slow and CPU intensive (30-40% cpu consumption)

  I noticed Visual Studio 2017 getting progressively slower with every update. Today it happened to be extremely slow really impacting my work and performance.

  It takes 30-40% cpu consumption in background even when I'm doing nothing in Studio. So almost every keystroke is delayed with fraction of second.

  Solution I'm working with is big enough comprising 100 projects.

  I updated VS to ver. 15.6.6, and it did not help.

  I read some forums and found it might be impacted by Extensions. I disabled all extensions leaving only few Ms "native" which either cannot be removed like Microsoft Advertising SDK, or some few other Microsoft produced extensions like "Roslyn Language Services" can be removed but requires to uninstall frameworks and features I truly need. However it did not help either.

  I restarted Studio and even rebooted machine few times but did not help

  Any ideas on what can be done are very welcomed

  I have 16 Gb op.memory, 2.70 Ghz i7, lots of free disk space.
