Mixing
Selenium WebDriver new tab and Navigate
1
Based on this post, I managed to open a new tab, but when I try to navigate in the new tab, the navigation occurs in the old tab.
I saw that I should use this:
driver.switchTo().window(windowName);
but what is windowName?
c# selenium

You have to use window handle function here. You asked for a solution in c#. I used java with selenium webdriver. They both would use similar concepts.
Here is a sample working code in java:
String parentHandle = driver.getWindowHandle(); // get the current window handle
System.out.println(parentHandle); //Prints the parent window handle
String anchorURL = anchor.getAttribute("href"); //Assuming u are clicking on a link which opens a new browser window
anchor.click(); //Clicking on this window
for (String winHandle : driver.getWindowHandles()) { //Gets the new window handle
System.out.println(winHandle);
driver.switchTo().window(winHandle); // switch focus of WebDriver to the next found window handle (that's your newly opened window)
}
//Now your driver works on the current new handle
//Do some work here.....
//Time to go back to parent window
driver.close(); // close newly opened window when done with it
driver.switchTo().window(parentHandle); // switch back to the original window
Hope this helps!
Unfortunately I don't understand how to convert it. also it seems that you follow from a link and I'm just opening a new tab ( a blank window with no data ) but I think there should be a way to recognize it

Selenium holds the name of the windows in some strings called handles. In C# we don't use getters and setters, but Properties:driver.WindowHandlesis the way to get all the handles, just go for the.Last()and you should get what you want

Instead of using the for loop you can use this to switch to the windowhandle as fra9001 mentions. driver.SwitchTo().Window(driver.WindowHandles.Last());

this is how my code looks like ( open new tab + switch )IWebElement body = driver.FindElement(By.TagName("body")); body.SendKeys(Keys.Control + 't'); driver.SwitchTo().Window(driver.WindowHandles.Last());
