Selenium WebDriver - KeyPress and Click at the same time C#

How can I do two action in selenium WebDriver 2 at the same time ? I need to press and keep CTRL and click on link. I would like to see some solution in C#.

This is not working.

Actions builder = new Actions(_driver);
builder.SendKeys(Keys.Control).Click(link).KeyUp(Keys.Control);
IAction multiple = builder.Build();
multiple.Perform();

Thank very much for answers

If you can't get the Actions to work, you can bail out and invoke javascript (or jQuery, as in my example here), to invoke the Ctrl-Click.

Example html fragment (that you're trying to automate the testing of)...

<script type='text/javascript'>
    function myClick(e) {if(e.ctrlKey) {alert('ctrl+click');}}
</script>

...

<img id='myElement' onclick='myClick();' src='abc.gif' />

Example c# call:

public void ExecuteJs(string javascript)
{
    var js = Browser.WebDriver as IJavaScriptExecutor;
    if (js != null) js.ExecuteScript(javascript);
}

public void CtrlClickElement(string elementId)
{
    var script = string.Format("var e=jQuery.Event('click');e.ctrlKey=true;$('#{0}').trigger(e);", elementId);
    ExecuteJs(script);
}

...

CtrlClickElement("myElement");

You're ignoring the return value of your builder. Try:

Actions builder = new Actions(_driver);
builder = builder.KeyDown(Keys.Control).Click(link).KeyUp(Keys.Control);
IAction multiple = builder.Build();
multiple.Perform();

or even an equivalent shorthand of this:

new Actions(_driver)
    .KeyDown(Keys.Control)
    .Click(link)
    .KeyUp(Keys.Control)
    .Perform();
