How can one get the value of a text input using Selenium with C#?

Question

Using Selenium for .NET, how can I get the current value from a html input?

It's possible to .GetAttribute() to get the value attribute but this is the html attribute rather than the current value entered into the text box; an approach similar to jQuery's .val() rather than jQuery's .attr().

"Selenium for .NET" link is broken (selenium.googlecode.com/git/docs/api/dotnet/index.html): 404. That’s an error. The requested URL /git/docs/api/dotnet/index.html was not found on this server. That’s all we know. — Jesus is Lord

Element.Text didn't work for me. I used element.GetAttribute("value")
