Question

Working code 1:

Driver.Instance.FindElement( By.XPath(\"//a[contains(@href,\'\" + PartialLinkHref + \"\')]\" ));

Working code 2:

Answer 1

I don't think the problem is your selector, I think it's the object you're trying to return the results of FindElements to.

In c#, FindElements returns a ReadOnlyCollection object, not a List object. If you change your linkList definition, it should work:

ReadOnlyCollection linkList = Driver.Instance.FindElements(By.TagName("a"));

You may also need to add this using:

using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
