Find total count of rows in webtable using xpath in Selenium C#

Question

I am trying to find the count of total row from table using below code but it's not working.

public IWebElement DocTable => driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[@id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_grdCaseList_DXMainTable']/tbody/tr"));

int RowCount = DocTable.Count();

Below is the error I am getting:

Error CS1061 'IWebElement' does not contain a definition for 'Count' and no accessible extension method 'Count' accepting a first argument of type 'IWebElement' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

As per the documentation FindElement() finds the first IWebElement using the given method. Where as Count is a List property.

So to get a count of all the <tr> elements you need to create a List using FindElements() as follows:

public ReadOnlyCollection<IWebElement> DocTable => driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//*[@id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_grdCaseList_DXMainTable']/tbody//tr"));
int RowCount = DocTable.Count;

Or

public IList<IWebElement> DocTable => driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//*[@id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_grdCaseList_DXMainTable']/tbody//tr"));
int RowCount = DocTable.Count;

As an alternative,

int RowCount = driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//*[@id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_grdCaseList_DXMainTable']/tbody//tr")).Count;

Note: Count is not a method but a property.

@Gopal Can you remove the keyword public and retest and let me know the status?

@Gopal Well there were more changes with in the code. Can you please take the new lines of code and retest once again? With the current lines of code you shouldn't see the previous error.

FindElement returns a single IWebElement, the first row in the table in that case. Use FindElements to get a list of the <tr> elements

public List<IWebElement> DocTable => driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//*[@id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_grdCaseList_DXMainTable']/tbody/tr"));
