SelectElement object returns null in Selenium C#

Question

I am using Selenium with C# and when trying to access and select a value from the dropdown, it's not working.

I tried to debug using breakpoint, when I move cursor on object of SelectElement class object, it's showing null.

But I know everything is correct. whether we use id, name or xpath to locate the element.

I am using chromedriver.

SelectElement ss = new SelectElement(driver.FindElement(By.Id("customer")));

I'm not sure what you are trying to select. If you are trying to select a drop down, then you can use this.

var customer = driver.FindElement(By.Id("customer"));
var selectElement = new SelectElement(customer);
selectElement.SelectByValue("customerType");
