How to get information using css selector and store it variable

Question

I want to verify the values from a register by using a css selector

[FindsBy(How = How.CssSelector, Using = "#grid_cases > table > tbody")]
private IWebElement CaseListGrid;

I have to return the WebElements value and store it to string

public List<CaseListEntry> GetCaseListEntries()
{
    CaseListGrid.
    return null;         
}

Answer 1

You can get the text from your CaseListGrid element by using the following:

CaseListGrid.Text;

But you are retrieving a tbody, which probably doesn't have any text in it.

After you retrieved the CaseListGrid element, you could do something like this to retrieve all td tags inside the tbody.

CaseListGrid.FindElements(By.TagName("td"));

After that, loop over the elements and retrieve the text:

public List<CaseListEntry> GetCaseListEntries()
{
    var elements = CaseListGrid.FindElements(By.TagName("td"));
    var listEntries = new List<CaseListEntry>();

    foreach (var element in elements)
    {
        var text = element.Text;

        if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(text))
            listEntries.Add(new CaseListEntry(text)); // I don't know what kind of class CaseListEntry is, so this is pseudo code
    }

    return listEntries;         
}

It works

 var CaseGridTrs = CaseListGrid.FindElements(By.XPath(".//tr"));
        var entryList = CaseGridTrs.Select(x => 
        {
            var CaseEntryTds = x.FindElements(By.XPath(".//td"));
            return new CaseListEntry
            {                                     Register = CaseEntryTds.ElementAt(0).FindElement(By.XPath(".//a")).Text,
