@sunilpatro1985 the latest Selenium Support package has removed the PageFactory as per: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/4387 is this your issue?

[jimevans]

PageFactory has not yet been completely removed from the Selenium repository. However, it does not exist, and never has existed for .NET Core projects. This is one reason PageFactory is marked deprecated in Selenium, has been moved to a new repository, and the new repo looking for an owner and maintainer.
