Upload a file using selenium web driver in c#

        selenium can not identify the Input tag having attribute as file. Also selenium is not able to handle windows popup like Open File Dialog.

Ex: 

<input type="file" id="browse1" name="browse"> </file>

So To handle such kind of situation in selenium we have to use third party tools like Autoit, Point Position etc....

Prerequisite/Requirements:

1. Visual Studio

2. NUnit: Testing Framework.

3. Point Position software / Tool: To find the X and Y coordinate of "Browse" Button.    

   point Position Tool: download it from this link:  http://freewareapp.com/point-position_download/
   
   
   Point Position Tool:
       It is used to to find the x & y coordinate of any control with respect to scree resolution.
       It has four corner keep any corner on button or any control whose x & Y coordinates you want to   find and click it on corner. it will shows the x and y coordinate of it. 
   see in below screen shot.
   It shows the x & Y coordinate of Open button by using Point Position Tool which is present of OpenFileDialog Window.
