Hello there , we confront a problem when trying to use Coded UI Test (CUIT) feature of MS-Visual Studio 2012 SL-plugin ( http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/28312a61-9451-451a-990c-c9929b751eb4 )for one of our SL application built with Infragistics control. I hope , i dont need to explain on the process of CUITs , but the problem occurs when `Coded UI Test Builder (the plugin)` is recording actions of the application and when clicking XamDateTimeInput - it generates an error saying `An exception occurred when trying to discover info about a sl control` and the process stops abruptly.
Note that it does not have troubles with other `XAM`controls so far.
Any idea ?
NB: As per you , what is the best recommended TestTool for SL apps with Infragistics for Performance,Load , Unit ,UI Testing ?
HI Thomas,
I replicated your issue and will test with the latest bulids.

Hi Matt
Thanks for the reply..
I kindly repeat my query i put up in the second part.what`d be the recommended `Test Tool for Silverlight applications with third party controls` (infragistics) for performace ,Load,Unit & UI Testing ?
Any assistance you can provide would be highly appreciated .
HI,
I created a private case for this issue and logged a developer issue.
I also create a Feature Request to Allow our testing tool TestAdvantage to work with our Silverlight Product.
I will email you with the detaiils shortly.
Our developers have completed their review of development issue 139678. They have determined that this is not a bug for the following reasons:
See this link http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/28312a61-9451-451a-990c-c9929b751eb4. You have to download the SL test plugin and follow the installation steps (including the link in the installation steps section called 'How to: Set Up Your Silverlight Application for Testing'). Even with that I had a problem on my system though, The test builder crashed immediately.
Please try a create a sample where coded ui works properly without our controls. If you can get that to work properly and then there is still a problem when you add our control back in then bounce this back to me with the updated sample.
If you have more information regarding this issue that may require a reevaluation, or require further explanation, please let me know.
Please let me know if you need further assistance regarding this case.
Since MS dropped official support for codd ui tests with SL5 and VS2012 we can not support this feature.

Hello Matt
Thanks for your reply,
Ref to the above, I will definitely come up with an answer after I consider your recommendations on 20.09.2013.
As a matter of fact, we moved on, from the problem listed as it was logged around 5 months back.
