Not getting correct div id while selecting multiple div using Selenium FindElements()

I am trying to search all the div under specified XPathwith div id. div id gets randomly generated and not fix so searching with partial id method as some text of div id is constant._ariaId_ is id which will be constant and numbers will get attached to it's trail.

HTML page code.

//some more HTML code before this. Trimmed for clarity.

<div tabindex="-1" data-convid="AAQkADBjMGZiZGFlLTE4ZmEtNGRlOS1iMjllLTJmOGZkNGRhZmIzNQAQAOTK5G8Pok9JkIMV8KU8bI4=" 
     data-time="2017-03-01T20:35:37+05:30" id="_ariaId_299">
</div>
<div tabindex="-1" data-convid="AAQkADBjMGZiZGFlLTE4ZmEtNGRlOS1iMjllLTJmOGZkNGRhZmIzNQAQAOTK5G8Pok9JkIMV8KU8bI4=" 
     data-time="2017-03-01T20:29:41+05:30" id="_ariaId_281">        
</div>
<div tabindex="-1" data-convid="AAQkADBjMGZiZGFlLTE4ZmEtNGRlOS1iMjllLTJmOGZkNGRhZmIzNQAQAHnhaFwb40sGj+pN9p736NE=" 
     data-time="2017-03-01T20:25:14+05:30" id="_ariaId_271">

The code I'm using to fetch all data matching the search criteria which will also include div id.

IWebElement baseTable = driverGC.FindElement(By.ClassName("conductorContent"));
        // gets all table rows
        ICollection<IWebElement> rows = baseTable.FindElements
        (By.XPath("//*[@id='primaryContainer']/div[5]/div/div[1]/div/div[4]/div[3]
                  /div/div[1]/div/div/div/div[5]/div[4]/div[1]/div[3]/div[1]/div/div/div[2]
                  /div[starts-with(@id, '_ariaId_')]"));
        foreach (var row in rows)
        {
            //Do something....
        }

This is giving me the desired multiple div which satisfy the condition BUT I am getting incorrect id Expected

Current

While debugging getting below data in id.

I'm stuck on this with no clue from where these ids coming from. Other fields are getting correctly.

The {Element(id=0.0xxxxxx)} you are seeing is not the id of HTML element, but the id of IWebElement.

If you want to fetch the id's of all individual HTML elements, try this

foreach(var row in rows) 
{
   string elementID = row.GetAttribute("id");
 }
