Pulling all dropdown elements with selenium

Question

I want to pull all the items in the drop-down menu one by one into the datagridview rows using Selenium in C#. Can you help me on this issue?

The problem was largely solved by Ali Imran Ansari. I express my special thanks for what it contains. However, there is only one problem: the first line lists all dropdown elements on a single line. How can we prevent this? Please take a look at the picture to understand what I mean. These are Ali Imran Ansar's codes IList selectElements = drv.FindElements(By.Id("ddlDersler")); // Create DataTable outside the loop to avoid resetting it in each iteration DataTable dt = new DataTable(); foreach (IWebElement select in selectElements) { var selectElement = new SelectElement(select); //// Create a new column for each dropdown DataColumn dtcol = new DataColumn(select.Text); dt.Columns.Add(dtcol); // Create a new row for each option in the dropdown // her satira dropdown çeken yer burasi foreach (IWebElement option in selectElement.Options) { DataRow row = dt.NewRow(); row[select.Text] = option.Text.Trim(); dt.Rows.Add(row); } } // Set the DataTable as the DataSource after the loop dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;

First of all, thank you very much for your interest. However, these codes give the same results as I got before. Instead of listing the courses one by one, it only gives the number of dropdown elements.

Please try to follow this basic example and try: - using OpenQA.Selenium; using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Windows.Forms; class Program { static void Main() { // Initialize the WebDriver (assuming Chrome in this example) IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(); // Navigate to the webpage with the dropdown menu driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("your_website_url_here"); // Locate the dropdown element (replace "your_dropdown_id" with the actual ID or other locator) IWebElement dropdown = driver.FindElement(By.Id("your_dropdown_id")); // Get all options from the dropdown List options = new List (dropdown.FindElements(By.TagName("option"))); // Create a DataGridView DataGridView dataGridView = new DataGridView(); dataGridView.Columns.Add("ColumnHeader", "ColumnHeader"); // Iterate through options and populate DataGridView foreach (IWebElement option in options) { string optionText = option.Text; // Add the option text to the DataGridView dataGridView.Rows.Add(optionText); } // Display the populated DataGridView (you might want to add this to a form or handle it according to your application) MessageBox.Show("Dropdown options retrieved and added to DataGridView!"); // Close the browser driver.Quit(); } } Please accept the answer if you find it useful.
