Selenium C# WebDriver: Wait until element is present

Question

I want to make sure that an element is present before the webdriver starts doing stuff.

I\'m trying to get something like this to work:

WebDriverWait w         


        

Answer 1

public bool doesWebElementExist(string linkexist)
{
     try
     {
        driver.FindElement(By.XPath(linkexist));
        return true;
     }
     catch (NoSuchElementException e)
     {
        return false;
     }
}
