I'm using the Selenium.WebDriver to do some work in web pages and things are working OK. One of my new tasks are to click on something in the web page and it navigates to a to a new page which I will scrape. This also works.

EdgeOptions edgeOptions = new EdgeOptions();
edgeOptions.UseChromium = true;
edgeOptions.BinaryLocation = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe";
EdgeDriver edgeDriver = new EdgeDriver(edgeOptions);
edgeDriver.Navigate().GoToUrl(@"https://www.SomeDoman.com/");

Along with scraping the page, I need to get the current URL which has changed since using the above code to open the page. I can't see any property for this.

How can I get the page's current URL

    @moondaddy , you could use EdgeDriver.Url Property to access the current URL.

    I make a simple winform app and you could have a look.

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  
            {  
      
                textBox1.Text = driver.Url;  
      
            }  
            EdgeDriver driver = new EdgeDriver();  
            private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
            {  
                 
                driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/");  
                textBox1.Text = driver.Url;  
                 
            }
