Object Spy is no longer able to identify a UI element which was being properly identified before.

I'm working with a Silverlight web app. We've already made the necessary preparations needed to support Silverlight controls. Just yesterday, I had no problem highlighting or identifying Silverlight UI elements using Object Spy. I was already able to map them and I've already created and ran several tests.

After I restarted my machine, all that Object Spy can identify are the main windows/panels. It is no longer able to identify child buttons, dropdowns, checkboxes, scroll bars, etc.

The tests are now failing because they are no longer able find the mapped objects.

How can I solve this? I don't remember making any changes to the settings/project properties.

Are you using the same build or the build got changed? Did you try compiling the file with .xap extension and check?

Build was the same. But I did try recompiling and it's working fine again. Odd.

I'll continue working with this and see if I encounter this issue again.

Thanks sanjay.
