This article will explain:

           How to use the Applitools Eyes SDK for adding visual validation to your Selenium .Net tests.

Using the Applitools Eyes SDK involves 4 main steps:
1.       Create and config an Eyes object.
2.       Start a test.
3.       Add UI validation check points.
4.       Close the test.

The example below illustrates how to build a visual test with Selenium .Net:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using Applitools;

namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

            // Your api key, make sure you use it in all your tests.
            var eyes = new Eyes()
            Eyes.ApiKey = "your api key";
            
            try
            {
                // Start visual testing with browser viewport set to 1024x768.
                // Make sure to use the returned driver from this point on.
                driver = eyes.Open(driver, "Applitools", "Test Web Page", 
                                   new System.Drawing.Size(1024, 768));

                driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://applitools.com");

                // Visual validation point #1
                eyes.CheckWindow("Main Page");

                driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector(".features>a")).Click();
                
                // Visual validation point #2
                eyes.CheckWindow("Features Page");

                // End visual testing. Validate visual correctness.
                eyes.Close();
            }
            finally
            {
                // Abort test in case of an unexpected error.
                eyes.AbortIfNotClosed();
                driver.Quit();
            }
        }
    }
}
