Selenium questions allow you to retrieve values from the web browser.

All Selenium questions inherit from the UIState<T> abstract class. They have common properties and methods.

When creating the question, it will search for a single element matching the target by default.

<div>Hello, world</div>
<div>Hello, folks</div>

actor.AsksFor(TextContent.Of(target));
// returns "Hello, world"

You can also request for all the elements matching the target using the Many method.

actor.AsksFor(TextContent.Of(target).Many());
// returns ["Hello, world", "Hello, folks"]

A text in the UI interface may represent type other than string, for instance an integer.
You can convert the value to another type using some of the conversion methods.

<div>549</div>

actor.AsksFor(TextContent.Of(target).AsInteger());
// returns 549

The available conversion methods are

• AsInteger
• AsBoolean
• AsDateTime
• AsDouble
• AsEnum
• AsText

You can also create your own conversion by implementing IConverter<TSource, TConverter>.

When using a conversion, you can specify the culture used to parse the text. For instance, when a text value "3,6" is converter to a double, you can specify that it should be parse with the french culture.

<div>3,6</div>

actor.AsksFor(TextContent.Of(target).WithCulture(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fr-FR")));
// returns 3.6
