string nameProp1;
object namePropNoDefault =
autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.NameProperty, true);
if (namePropNoDefault == AutomationElement.NotSupported)
{
nameProp1 = "No name.";
}
else
{
nameProp1 = namePropNoDefault as string;
}
Dim nameProp1 As String
Dim namePropNoDefault As Object = autoElement.GetCurrentPropertyValue(AutomationElement.NameProperty, True)
If namePropNoDefault Is AutomationElement.NotSupported Then
nameProp1 = "No name."

End If
