Instead of using methods like .DomLink, you can use the Find method to identify a single object with a locator.
Instead of typing:
_desktop.DomLink("//a[@textContents='Home']").Select()
you can type:
_desktop.Find(Of DomLink)("//a[@textContents='Home']").Select()
The .DomLink method also uses the Find method internally. Prefer using the .DomLink method, because it is more concise than the Find method.
