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

The clickAndWait command doesn't get converted when you choose the Webdriver format in the Selenium IDE. Here is the workaround. Add the wait line below. Realistically, the problem was the click or event that happened before this one--line 1 in my C# code. But really, just make sure you have a WaitForElement before any action where you're referencing a "By" object.

HTML code:

xxxxx

C#/NUnit code:

driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("z")).Click;
driver.WaitForElement(By.LinkText("xxxxx"));
driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("xxxxx")).Click();
