You can try using the WebDriver Support SelectElement found in OpenQA Selenium Support UI Selected namespace to access the option list of a select list   IWebElement elem   driver FindElement By XPath    select  name  time zone        SelectElement selectList   new SelectElement elem   IList lt IWebElement gt  options   selectList Options    You can then access each option as an IWebElement  such as   IWebElement firstOption   options 0   Assert AreEqual firstOption GetAttribute  value     -09 00

You can use selenium Support to use the SelectElement class  this class have a property  Options  that is what you are looking for  I created an extension method to convert your web element to a select element  public static SelectElement AsDropDown this IWebElement webElement        return new SelectElement webElement       then you could use it like this  var elem   driver FindElement By XPath    select  name  time zone       var options   elem AsDropDown   Options
