In java I use code like this to grab a list of WebElements with the same identifier:

@FindBy(how = How.CLASS_NAME, using = "name")
private List<WebElement> names;

Now, I’m using c# and I’m trying to do the same thing using:

[FindsBy(How = How.ClassName, Using = "name")]
private List<IWebElement> names;

However, this gives the exception:

System.ArgumentException: Object of type
‘Castle.Proxies.IWrapsElementProxy_1’ cannot be converted to type
‘System.Collections.Generic.List`1[OpenQA.Selenium.IWebElement]’.

I’ve tried FindAllBy and FindBys, however those do not seem to be valid. Is there anyway I can do this besides

names = getDriver().findElements(By.ClassNames("..."))?

    As of 2.29.0 of the .NET bindings, this is now no longer true. The FindsBy attribute now will find individual elements or collections of elements. Note that the collection field or property decorated by the FindsBy attribute must be of type IWebElement or IList<IWebElement> in order to be populated by the PageFactory. Any other type will throw an exception.
