Internet Explorer Developer Tool with Silverlight application.

Question

When I worked on ASP.NET web forms, I found IE developer tool extremely useful to debug my Javascript and CSS issues.

I cannot seem to make that tool work with my Silverlight application. I was trying to use "Select Element by Click" feature and it was not selecting any elements on my silverlight application.

Any ideas what's going on?

Answer 1

The elements on your Silverlight application are not HTML elements, they are embedded in your Silverlight application, so the developer tool cannot see them.

Answer 2

As Jeff Yates pointed out Silverligh is object, so you cannot inspect something. I can suggest to try SilverlightSpy.
