I’m working with C#.NET and Selenium and am attempting to verify whether or not a checkbox is checked. It fails every time. Here’s the code:

public static void verifyCheckboxIsChecked(WebDriver driver, System.String xPath)
{
    Thread.Sleep(2000);
    // checkbox should be checked
    IWebElement element = driver.FindElement(By.XPath(xPath));
    if (element.Selected)
    {

        Logger("Test passed, checkbox is checked!");
    }
    else
    {
        Logger("Test failed, checkbox is NOT checked!");
    }
}

The full XPath I’m passing into this method is absolutely correct. It finds the checkbox. element.Selected is coming back False every time.

Is there another way to do this, like an attribute I can get? Frustrated. This was easy in Java but I have no access to isChecked() in C#. Any help appreciated.
