C# WPF application using selenium web driver

[Jim Evans]

There *shouldn't* be anything preventing WebDriver from successfully running from within a WPF executable. We'll need more detail to be able to help. "It doesn't work," is rarely enough to diagnose the problem. What browser? Are there any exceptions thrown?

I used the asterisks to simulate a vocal expression. If we'd been having a conversation in person, my tone would indicate that while I don't believe there to be any reason why the .NET bindings should not work in a WPF application, anything is possible.

I'm quite sure I've used the bindings in console and WinForms applications. I don't recall trying it in a WPF app. Since you're using VS 2012, I'd make sure I was targeting .NET 3.5 or 4.0, just to eliminate that as a possible problem. It should be a fairly simple matter to throw together a WPF form with only a button that runs a simple WebDriver test method. Since you haven't seen fit to share any code, it's difficult to make more specific recommendations.

And just to follow up, I was able to successfully use the .NET bindings in a WPF app today. You can see my code at https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5622222

Thanks for the reply's Jim,

I'll test it on a smaller scale project as you mentioned.
