How to select the value from the web list with selenium webdriver in C#.Net?

We can select the value from the dropdown or combobox on the webpage using 3 methods

1.      SelectByText method   - selects by the text displayed in the combo box

2.      SelectByIndex method  - selects element by position

3.      SelectByValue method  - selects element by the value of the option 

You can use any of these methods to select a value from the dropdown.

Complete example in C#.Net is given below.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Threading;

using OpenQA.Selenium;

using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;

{

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

           

IWebDriver driver=null;

try

{

driver = new ChromeDriver(@"F:\selenium\csharp");

driver.Url = "http://www.amazon.in";

              driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitlyWait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20));

driver.Navigate();

//enter data in amazon search box

IwebElement e = driver.FindElement(By.XPath ("//*[@id='searchDropdownBox']"));

SelectElement select=new SelectElement(e);

//select the value Books from the combo box

select.selectByText("Books");  

            }

 catch(Exception e){

 Console.WriteLine("Exception ******"+e.ToString());

               

 }

           

            finally{

            Thread.Sleep(2000);

            driver.Quit();
