Hello

C#

IList<IWebElement> labels = driver.FindElements(By.ClassName(textBox1.Text));
            textBox2.Text = labels.ToString();
            listBox1.Items.Add(labels);

as the output of this code
in the Listbox1

(Collection)

in the textbox2

System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection`1[OpenQA.Selenium.IWebElement]

I'm getting these results
I can't get data from the site

What I have tried:

String labels = driver.FindElement(By.ClassName(textBox1.Text)).Text;
listBox1.Items.Add(labels);

one by one data craw, I get correct results, but not as a list

Solution 1

The variable labels is an IList (Collection) of items. So calling labels.ToString() will correctly tell you that is is a Collection object. If you want to view the individual items then you need to iterate the collection with some type of for/foreach loop.

I tried to add it to the list but it didn't work

listBox1.Items.Add(labels);

You cannot add a collection of items in that way. As I already explained you need to use a for/foreach loop to iterate the collection. Alternatively you could use a BindingSource. If you do not understand how classes and collections work then check the documentation for the classes you are using.

IList<IWebElement> all = driver.FindElements(By.ClassName(textBox1.Text));

            String[] allText = new String[all.Count];
            int i = 0;
            foreach (IWebElement element in all)
            {
                allText[i++] = element.Text;
                listBox1.Items.Add(element);
            }

i tried this not worked

What is the purpose of the string array when you do not keep it, and you are not passing the element.Text property to the ListBox.Items? All you need to do is:

foreach (IWebElement element in all)
{
    listBox1.Items.Add(element.Text);
}

And if it still does not show any results, then you need to step through the code with your debugger to see what is in the list.
