How to access sitemap tree child node navigation link using selenium webdriver [closed]

Question

The website I am trying to automate can be navigated by using sitemap tree.Now in order to access the child nodes from selenium I wrote the following code:

IWebElement menu = driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("Setup"));
//Setup is the parent node
Actions mouseOver = new Actions(driver);
mouseOver.MoveToElement(menu).Build().Perform();
driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("Entities")).Click();
//Entities is the child node.

But webdriver throws an Element not found exception.

I am using Firefox for playing the test case.

As Ardesco and user246 have mentioned, without additional information it's not really possible to give you a thorough answer. In my experience with hover-over menu options, it helps to create a second WebElement for the child node, in your case, the "Entities" element.

To expand on what has already been mentioned, you may want to verify that the "Entities" link text is correct, or use an Xpath or CSS selector instead.
