C# Selenium WebDriver Foreach not working

Question

This is my code in C# I press the delete button and open a pop up where I select the amount of deletions that I want to delete and press again on delete it will delete.

PropertiesCollections.driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("Delete")).Click();
new SelectElement(PropertiesCollections.driver.FindElement(By.XPath("(//select[@id='remove_shares'])[2]"))).SelectByText("1");
PropertiesCollections.driver.FindElement(By.XPath("(//button[@type='button'])[2]")).Click();

---

What I'm trying to do is record a loop every time I press delete and open a pop-up window, find the highest value inside the dropdown and select it and delete.

But just every time the values inside the dropdown are changed:

PropertiesCollections.driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("Delete")).Click();
var mySelectElm = PropertiesCollections.driver.FindElement(By.XPath("(//select[@id='remove_shares'])[2]"));
var mySelect = new SelectElement(mySelectElm);
var values = mySelect.SelectedOption;
foreach (var option in values)
{
 Console.WriteLine(option.Text); //Prints "Option", followed by "Not Option"
 PropertiesCollections.driver.FindElement(By.XPath("(//button[@type='button'])[2]")).Click();
 }

That the error I get but I need help with writing the code better:

Error 1

foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'OpenQA.Selenium.IWebElement' because 'OpenQA.Selenium.IWebElement' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'

Answer 1

Replace this:

var values = mySelect.SelectedOption;

With this:

var values = mySelect.Options;

That way your foreach loop will work, because you'll have a list of options to loop through. Your current code only returns a single element, on which foreach does not work.

• Daniel Shmayovich: when i changed to var values = mySelect.Otions; get error message Error 1 'OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.SelectElement' does not contain a definition for 'Otions' and no extension method 'Otions' accepting a first argument of type 'OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.SelectElement' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
