    <p>So I'm currently writing this script that will automate a simple, monotonous task using the Selenium Internet Explorer driver in C#. </p> <p>Everything works great, but it is a tad bit slow at one point in the script and I'm wondering if there is a quicker way available to do what I want. </p> <p>The point in question is when I have to fill out a textbox with a lot of information. This textbox will be filled sometimes up to 10,000 lines where each line never exceeds 20 characters. </p> <p>However, the following approach is very slow...</p> <pre><code>// process sample file using LINQ query var items = File.ReadAllLines(sampleFile).Select(a =&gt; a.Split(',').First()); // Process the items to be what we want to add to the textbox var stringBuilder = new StringBuilder(); foreach (var item in items) { stringBuilder.Append(item + Environment.NewLine); } inputTextBox.SendKeys(stringBuilder.ToString()); </code></pre> <p>Is there any to just set the value of the textbox to what I want? Or is this a bottleneck?</p> <p>Thank you for your time and patience!</p>

    1. COHow big are we talking? 200,000+ lines? 100 lines? 3000 *characters*? Would be useful if you could quantify "large". What browser is this in? Does using a different one help?

    2. COThis is in IE. We're talking between 1,000 and 10,000 lines. The lengths of the lines are under 20 characters each.

    3. COYou could use javascript and IJavaScriptExecutor to set the field. SendKeys, as I understand it, sends one char at a time. Using javascript to set the value of the textarea should be much faster.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
