Element.Disabled throws error as element not found

for my test I need this element.Disabled to return false.

When test reaches to a page where that element is not displayed , test gets failed with element not found.

below code fails as username textbox doesnot display on the page

if (VerifyUsernameTextBox())
{
do something
}

public bool VerifyUsernameTextBox()
        {
            return username.Displayed;  // code fails with no element found while return false is expected .

}

What to do so I get element.Displayed as false .

You find the element by driver.findElement(), right? Remember, findElement throws an exception if it doesn't find an element, so you need to properly handle it.

You can do like this:

    private bool IsUsernamePresent(By by)
    {
        try
        {
            driver.findElement(by);
            return true;
        }
        catch (NoSuchElementException)
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

then

public bool VerifyUsernameTextBox()
{
    return IsUsernamePresent(By.Id("element_username_id"));
}
