Hi ellLazar,

You can use Selenium to control IE, Chrome even Firefox using C#. Please see more detail here: http://www.seleniumhq.org/

yes, selenium has the web driver dll, so you can use it without any installation. Please let me know if anything else.

selenium

  1. if I understand, selenium is an .exe application (?) what is the url in web browser (any client) so I can use to launch selenium ?
  2. selenium app has to be in web server path, so my url can launch it, please note, I can browse to any html, but not to an .exe without any warranty can you show (one line of code) how I launch the selenium by url ? what selenium app I put in the web server path ? or point to some link explanation

Hi ellLazar,

I'm sorry but I don't have much experience with selenium, but I can answer your question with information I have from selenium.

  1. Yes the selenium has an .exe file to open the proxy from your application and your browser so you can control it via this proxy.
  2. I'm not sure I'm understand you correctly, but that mean you want to open the selenium when the user click on the link to exe file? Currently I don't know how to work with that too, but you can try this link (https://www.google.com/search?q=open+exe+from+browser&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8)

Thanks
