How to locate and click on an element which is nested within multiple frame and frameset through Selenium using Webdriver and C#

by

As per the HTML you have shared to click on the element with text as Login you have to induce WebDriverwait twice to switch through 2 child frame and then again to locate the desired element as follows:

//SwitchTo mytestTopsubframe
new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20)).Until(ExpectedConditions.FrameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.Name("mytestTopsubframe")));
//SwitchTo mytestsubframe
new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20)).Until(ExpectedConditions.FrameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.Name("mytestsubframe")));
//Locate the desired element
new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20)).Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.XPath("//a[@class="clslogin" and @href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50798937/linkref"]"))).Click();

Note: You don’t have to consider the presence of <frameset> and can safely ignore those tags.
