Hi,
When I try to spy my application give me:
02:13:27 [Application] Found a Silverlight 3 RTW application
02:13:27 [Application] Failed to load Spy for Silverlight application.
Reason: Spy not available in Silverlight AppDomain
Any ideas?
Greg
Is your application using some kind of authentication scheme?
Great now we have to obfuscate our sl apps. can you also write an obfuscator as well. (a great money making idea - write a tool to undress an app and then write another tool to prevent undressing an app from your tool. Except you charge for the other tool).
Can't get Silverlight Spy 3 running on Windows7 RC. I've got Silverlight 3 installed, but Silverlight Spy can't locate it, although it's installed in the default place.
mike: Are you able to send me the exact message? Available in the output log (View > Output Log). Also; do you happen to use a 64 bit version?
I'm also running on Windows 7 RC and Silverlight Spy 3 finds Silverlight no problem and loads my app. Beyond that I'm at a loss as to how to use it. The right pane simply as a combobox with one item "Silverlight 3 RTW application" and an empty window simply displaying "Loaded". I see no obvious way to start exploring my application as I could in Silverlight Spy 2.
The log contains the following exception that may be relevant.

Steven: The NullReferenceException is a known bug, hit the refresh button in the browser toolbar and you should be good to go. Upcoming spy versions will have more clear error reporting.
I've tried refreshing multiple times and it has the NullReferenceException each time. It's also displaying several messages saying "Spy injection failed. Not a valid XAP package; manifest not found" so perhaps those are the cause of the empty right pane.
The same application loads without problem in Silverlight Spy 2.
Steve: i'll look into this. The NullReferenceException has been reported several times.
The NullReferenceException bug has been fixed and will be available in the next Silverlight Spy update
I got an error as follow.
"SPy initialization failed"
I tried to set up Proxy in the SPY3. But I didn't find items in the options.
By the way, SPY2 is working.
