- Create a folder named Models, then create a class definition like this:
class IWebElementList : ObservableCollection<IWebElement> {}
The ObservableCollection is a part of this library:
using System.Collections.Generic;
We are modeling a collection Selenium IWebElements. That class is defined here:
using OpenQA.Selenium;
- Create a new UserControl and name it ElementGrid.
- Click on View/Other Window/Data Sources
Click on Add New
Click on Object
Select the Model
Once imported...
You should be able to select the presentation layout, note it defaults to a datagrid
Drag the DataSource to the UserControl.
Instant Data Grid
Auto Generated XAML
Auto Generated Code
Uncomment the code parts, and notice there are two areas requiring our attention.
"your data" will be an instance of an ObservableCollection . This will come directly from Selenium.
"Resource Key..." will be found in the User Control pages, Resources area as shown here.
Congratulations, you've just created a GUI interface to Selenium in literally 2 minutes.
This same technique works for any model. In a future article we'll discuss the benefits of the CollectionViewSource.
