How to Take a Screenshot in Selenium with C# .NET

This blog is going to explain how to take a screenshot of a webpage using selenium through C # .NET

You can achieve that in just 2 steps. First take a screenshot using the GetScreenshot() method. Then save it in location.

//Take the screenshot

Screenshot image = ((ITakesScreenshot)driver).GetScreenshot();

//Save the screenshot

image.SaveAsFile(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory+"//ScreenShot.png", ScreenshotImageFormat.Png);

The following is a full C# console application code. In the code I have found the current version of the chrome browser and downloaded the same webdriver (Check this blog for more information) .Then I take a screenshot of the webpage and save it to the local storage.

using OpenQA.Selenium;

using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;

using System;

using WebDriverManager;

using WebDriverManager.DriverConfigs.Impl;

using WebDriverManager.Helpers;

namespace SampleConsoleApp

{

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

             // Download the same version of chromedriver

            var chromeDriverPath = new DriverManager().SetUpDriver(new ChromeConfig(), VersionResolveStrategy.MatchingBrowser);

            // Get a path of chromedriver

            string chromeDirectoryPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(chromeDriverPath);

            // Create instance by passing the path of the chromedriver directory

            IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeDirectoryPath);

            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.google.com/");

            //Take the screenshot

            Screenshot image = ((ITakesScreenshot)driver).GetScreenshot();

            //Save the screenshot

            image.SaveAsFile(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "//Screenshot.png", ScreenshotImageFormat.Png);

        }

    }

}

The following screenshot of the above code.

I hope this helps you. Keep coding.
