Ui testing of Silverlight Control datePicker

Ui testing of Silverlight Control datePicker

I'm trying to automate UI tests to my Silverlight App with Visual Studio 2010. I have one dataPicker on my app. Whem I'm playing the recording actions, the date is not selected.

It returns the error:

Test method CriarRequisicao3.comparar5.CodedUITestMethod1 threw exception:   Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.FailedToPerformActionOnBlockedControlException:  Another control is blocking the control. Please make the blocked control visible and retry the action.   Additional Details:   TechnologyName:  'Silverlight' ControlType:     'Button' AutomationId:   'Button'   ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Exception from HRESULT: 0xF004F003"  The code that VS2010 generate for this step is:  // Select '18-Nov-2011' in 'dp_DesiredDate' date picker  uIDp_DesiredDateDatePicker.SelectedDateAsString = this.RecordedMethod14Params.UIDp_DesiredDateDatePickerSelectedDateAsString; 

Am I doing something wrong?

Need more code to answer you question, actually, but from the exception I can suggest that your code tries to click on datepicker calendar without actually having it shown. So you must add some code to make datepicker appear, and then select date.
