I facing problem open dropdown select option on click in c# using selenium

I am trying to open the Register page from my account.
The UI developer used the bootstrap code. Bootstrap developers have added the JS function on click.
and when I run this code then show error "OpenQA.Selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException has been thrown
element click intercepted: Element ... is not clickable at point (984, 50). Other element would receive the click: ...
(Session info: chrome=77.0.3865.120)"

driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//a[#id='navbarDropdown']/u")).Click();
}
}
}
**`
> strong text
`**

You can wait until the element is visible.
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//a[#id='navbarDropdown']/u"));
If still the issue exists please post the DOM structure of your web page,it may be related to interacting with a wrong element.

Try the below code. You would need to add reference for "SeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers" from nuget
class MainClass
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://freshpicksdev.isrv.tech/");
driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("div.modal-header .close")).Click();
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
wait.IgnoreExceptionTypes(typeof(NoSuchElementException));
wait.Until(SeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers.ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.XPath("//u[contains(text(),'My Account')]")));
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//u[contains(text(),'My Account')]")).Click();
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//a[text()='Register']")).Click();
}
}

Exception 'Element should have been select but was div' C# selenium

I'm getting an exception with a piece of code. My code is adding an item to a bag then I want to select the quantity of the item. When I click on the quantity on the drop down menu to select 2.
My code throws an exception on this line:
IWebElement Qty = webDriver.FindElement(By.Id("bagApp"));
SelectElementFromDropDown(Qty, "2");
Element should have been select but was div.
This piece of code is designed to click on the drop down menu.

You drop down is made of Divs and spans, Select class will not help you in this case.
You can try this code :
IList<IWebElement> options= webDriver.FindElements(By.CssSelector("li[class*='select2-results__option']"));
foreach (IWebElement element in options){
if(element.GetText().Equals("2")){
element.Click();
}
}
Note that before trying to select value from drop down , you have to click on down arrow button for that you can use this code :
webDriver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("span#select2-d2bx-container+span")).Click()
You should use explicit wait as you are moving to new page for this operation.

You can select the webelement as below
//Explicit wait is added to ensure that my bag item section is loaded successfully
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementExists(By.XPath("//select[contains(#class,'bag-item-quantity')]")));
IWebElement qtyElement = webDriver.FindElement(By.XPath("//select[contains(#class,'bag-item-quantity')]"));
SelectElementFromDropDown(qtyElement,"2");

The error is occurring because you are using the SelectElement class on an HTML element that is not a SELECT, a DIV in this case.
In order to select the desired option, you need to click the dropdown to open it and then click the desired option from the dropdown. Since you will likely be selecting options more than once, it's a good idea to put the code to do that into a function.
public void SelectOption(string s)
{
new WebDriverWait(webDriver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5)).Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.CssSelector($"span[title='{s}']"))).Click();
}
Then call it like
webDriver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("span.select2")).Click();
SelectOption("2");

How can I retrieve the text of a P tag INCLUDING any embedded strong tags using IWebElement?

I'm using the Selenium WebDriver NuGet package for C#. As part of my tests, I'm checking the text of a paragraph. However, the HTML for the paragraph looks like this:
<p>This is <strong>bold</strong>.</p>
...and if I have an IWebElement representing the p tag, then the .Text property returns
This is .
In other words, it only returns the text from the p tag, and not from the embedded strong tag.
There doesn't seem to be any method or property on IWebElement that would allow me to get the full text of the p tag and its children.
So... how can it be done?

I'm out of the office right now, but my colleague informs me that the problem can be resolved by casting the IWebElement returned by GetElementById to RemoteWebElement and then calling the Text property on that.
This is very surprising - I would have thought that Text would be a virtual property, and that the behaviour would be defined by the run-time type, not the compile-time type.
UPDATE
It appears that my colleague was mistaken. Casting to RemoteWebElement did not fix the problem. Rather, it seems that breaking in the debugger and inspecting the Text property caused it to return the correct value.
I've now tried to reproduce this problem in a minimal program (see below), and (surprise!) I can't reproduce it. The Text property is behaving correctly. I'll continue to investigate what's different about my real setup.
namespace SeleniumTest
{
using System;
using System.Linq;
using OpenQA.Selenium.IE;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
const string ExamplePageUrl = "http://www.nngroup.com/consulting/ux-research-usability-testing/";
var webDriver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
webDriver.Navigate().GoToUrl(ExamplePageUrl);
var wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
wait.Until(w => w.Title == "Nielsen Norman Group: UX Research, Training, and Consulting");
var paras = webDriver.FindElementsByTagName("p");
var para = paras.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Text.Contains("We test your website or application"));
if (para == null)
{
Console.WriteLine("Dang. Looks like the website changed.");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine(para.Text);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

Selenium C# Can't find ID or Title

I manage to open a firefox browser, go to http://www.google.com/ search for "Bath Fitter". When i see a bunch of links, i want to in fact click on an item of the top menu provided by Google, Images. Images is located next to Map Videos News...
How can i have it click on Images?
Below is my code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
namespace SeleniumHelloWorld
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
IWebDriver driver = null;
try
{
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com/");
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
IWebElement searchInput = driver.FindElement(By.Id("gbqfq"));
searchInput.SendKeys("Bath Fitter");
searchInput.SendKeys(Keys.Enter);
searchInput.FindElement(By.Name("Images"));
searchInput.Click();
driver.Close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Exception ****" + e.ToString());
}
}
}
}

More specifically you can also write your selector pointing from Top Navigation. This is the XPath.
.//*[#id='hdtb_msb']//a[.='Images']
try this;
driver.FindElement(By.XPath(".//*[#id='hdtb_msb']//a[.='Images']"));
EDIT:
Even though the selectors above were correct your code was not working because of the second page was taking too long to load. There you need to wait for the the element to be in ready state and an implicit wait is needed. Change the code in your try block and replace with mine and try
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com/");
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
IWebElement searchInput = driver.FindElement(By.Id("gbqfq"));
searchInput.SendKeys("Bath Fitter");
searchInput.SendKeys(Keys.Enter);
//this is the magic
driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitlyWait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
By byImage = By.XPath(".//*[#id='top_nav']//a[.='Images']");
IWebElement imagElement =
new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)).Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementExists(byImage));
imagElement.Click();

Try something like this...
IList<IWebElement> links = driver.FindElements(By.TagName("a"));
links.First(element => element.Text == "Images").Click();
