To set the desired value into Dropdown box, the below piece of would work fine!

using System;

using System.Text;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;

using OpenQA.Selenium;

using OpenQA.Selenium.IE;

//add this name space to access WebDriverWait

using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;

namespace AutomationUsingSelenium

{

    class Program

    {

        public static InternetExplorerDriver WebDriver;

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {                     

        var capabilitiesInternet = new OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.DesiredCapabilities();

        capabilitiesInternet.SetCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true);

        WebDriver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilitiesInternet);

        WebDriver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.x-rates.com/calculator.html");

//Get the hold of the dropdown box by Name  IWebElement setValueConvert = WebDriver.FindElement(By.Name("from")); //Place the drop down into selectElemnet  SelectElement clickThisitem=new SelectElement(setValueConvert);  Thread.Sleep(600); //Select the Item from dropdown by Index  clickThisitem.SelectByIndex(12); //Select the Item from dropdown by Text  clickThisitem.SelectByText("EUR");

                                                                                                         

         }

    }

}

Get screenshot of the web page in selenium using C# .net

            var capabilitiesInternet = new OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.DesiredCapabilities();

            capabilitiesInternet.SetCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true);

          

            IWebDriver webDriver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilitiesInternet);

                       webDriver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com");

Screenshot screenshot = ((ITakesScreenshot) webDriver).GetScreenshot();

            screenshot.SaveAsFile("d:\\ScreenShot.png",System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);

Wait for an element to load in selenium using C#

Sometimes while performing automation we have to wait for an element to load then only we can proceed to the next steps.

To achieve this selenium has provided explicit wait and implicit wait.

Here we will discuss about use of explicit wait .net using C#.

Using lambda Expression:

 Name space need to use to access WebDriverWait

Using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI

using System.Text;

using OpenQA.Selenium;

using OpenQA.Selenium.IE;

//add this name space to access WebDriverWait

using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;

namespace AutomationUsingSelenium

{

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            var capabilitiesInternet = new OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.DesiredCapabilities();

            capabilitiesInternet.SetCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true);

          

            IWebDriver webDriver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilitiesInternet);

            webDriver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com");

            IWebElement query = webDriver.FindElement(By.Name("q"));

            query.SendKeys("http://seleniumdotnet.blogspot.com");

            OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.WebDriverWait wait = new OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.WebDriverWait(webDriver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));

            Console.WriteLine("Page title is: "+webDriver.Title);

            //using lambda expression

            wait.Until(d => d.FindElement(By.Id("ab_name")));//make sure that Search div appear on google

            Screenshot screenshot = ((ITakesScreenshot) webDriver).GetScreenshot();

        screenshot.SaveAsFile("d:\\ScreenShot.png",System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);

            webDriver.Quit();

            Console.ReadLine();

           

        }

    }

}

Using Anonymous Method:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using OpenQA.Selenium;

using OpenQA.Selenium.IE;

//add this name space to access WebDriverWait

using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;

namespace AutomationUsingSelenium

{

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            var capabilitiesInternet = new OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.DesiredCapabilities();

            capabilitiesInternet.SetCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true);

          

            IWebDriver webDriver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilitiesInternet);

            webDriver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com");

            IWebElement query = webDriver.FindElement(By.Name("q"));

            query.SendKeys("http://seleniumdotnet.blogspot.com");

            OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.WebDriverWait wait = new OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.WebDriverWait(webDriver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));

            Console.WriteLine("Page title is: "+webDriver.Title);

            //using Anonymous method

             wait.Until(delegate(IWebDriver d) { return d.FindElement(By.Id("ab_name")); });

            

            Screenshot screenshot = ((ITakesScreenshot) webDriver).GetScreenshot();

            screenshot.SaveAsFile("d:\\ScreenShot.png",System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);

            webDriver.Quit();

            Console.ReadLine();

           

        }

    }

}

InternetExplorerDriver() issue by selenium in IE

While running your automation code in selenium using C#.

Then, most probably chances are that you will encounter the exception as “Unexpected error launching Internet Explorer. Protected Mode must be set to the same value (enabled or disabled) for all zones. (NoSuchDriver)”. And below is the screen sot for the same.




InvalidOperationException in IE



The cause of this issue is due to different security level and the ability to enable or disable Protected Mode. The error message is trying to tell you that Protected Mode must either be disabled or enabled for all zones because of a limitation in Selenium's InternetExplorerDriver.

To resolve this issue you need to just add 2 extra lines of code.

            var capabilitiesInternet = new OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.DesiredCapabilities();

            capabilitiesInternet.SetCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true);

The Whole Code would look like this:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using OpenQA.Selenium;

using OpenQA.Selenium.IE;

namespace AutomationUsingSelenium

{

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            var capabilitiesInternet = new OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.DesiredCapabilities();

            capabilitiesInternet.SetCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true);

            IWebDriver webDriver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilitiesInternet);

            webDriver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com");

            IWebElement query = webDriver.FindElement(By.Name("q"));

            query.SendKeys("http://jawedm.blogspot.com");

            Console.WriteLine("Page title is: "+webDriver.Title);

            webDriver.Quit();

            Console.ReadLine();

        }

    }

}

Hope this would be useful for you.
