Parameters

Remarks

This method searches for the element in all of the pages in the _context.Pages collection in reverse order. If lockToLastPage is true, it searches only the last page in the collection. If the search fails, it retries the specified number of times, waiting for the page to load between retries. If the element is found, it logs a warning message and returns the element. If the element is not found, it logs an error message and returns null.
