Atata iframe SwitchTo method compile error : Using generic type requires 1 type argument

I have created a Frame control - Frame1 under Class1:

Frame1

Class1

public Frame<_> Frame1 get; private set;


And defined Class2 for frame page:

Class2

public class Class2<TPage> : Page<TPage> where TPage : Page<TPage>


When I call Frame1.SwitchTo<Class2>() I get a compile error:

Frame1.SwitchTo<Class2>()

Using generic type requires 1 type argument

Is there any way to resolve this?

I am defining Class2 as above as I want to define other classes inheriting Class2.

Class2

Class2

If your Class2 page object type is a generic base page object, then it cannot be passed directly to SwitchTo method. You can pass only complete classes. For example you can create non-generic Class2 and pass it.

Class2

SwitchTo

Class2

// Base page object.
public class Class2<TOwner> : Page<TOwner> where TOwner : Class2<TOwner>



public class Class2 : Class2<Class2>



public class AnotherClass2 : Class2<AnotherClass2>




This will allow you to pass Class2 to SwitchTo method:

Class2

SwitchTo

Frame1.SwitchTo<Class2>()


or

Frame1.SwitchTo<AnotherClass2>()
