Using Selenium WebDriver to simulate button click for ASP.NET Webforms application that uses DevExpress Controls

First lets create a simple ASP.NET Web application that uses DevExpress controls. I have created a test.aspx page that has got 2 buttons

Code behind (test.aspx.cs)

protected void TestMe_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  Response.Redirect("success.aspx");
}

protected void TestMe2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  Response.Redirect("Fail.aspx");
}

Now here is the snippet of code that can be used to simulate button click

WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(@"C:\selenium\selenium-dotnet-2.33.0\IEDriverServer_x64_2.33.0");
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://localhost/test/Test.aspx");
IJavaScriptExecutor js = driver as IJavaScriptExecutor;
var result = js.ExecuteScript("TestMe.click();");
//or
IWebElement btn = driver.FindElement(By.Id("TestMe"));
btn.Click();
