Stopping a webtest if an extraction rule failed

Question

I need to stop a web test from running if an extraction rule fails.

The Extract method of the extraction rule class looks like this:

public override void Extract(object sender, ExtractionEventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        // fancy logic going on here
    }
    catch (ExtractionException ex)
    {
        e.Message = ex.Message;
        e.Success = false;
    }
}

The solution I was thinking about is to define a StopTestRequestPlugin class derived from WebTestRequestPlugin and in the body of the PostRequest method to check if any of the extraction rules failed and stop the test. This way, I can assign this class to any test, without changing the code for the test or for the extraction rules involved.

Is there a way to access the ExtractionRule objects which had the Extract methods set as event handlers for the request?

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0.

Thanks.

Can you not check the eventargs.Success property from inside the webtest? A simple if statement should suffice to prevent the successive requests in the webtest from executing.
