Will Silverlight 2.0 become automation friendly?

In my opinion this looks like the final release of Silverlight 2.0 will have Active Accessibility and/or UI Automation in place. This opens up the way for test automation. And I think that is a good thing!

Good point about Silverligth and automation.

We plan at some point during the year to try to create an extension to our web functional testing tool InCisif.net, to support Silverlight.
