When using .NET 3.0 UIAutomation classes in a console application, I was surprised when a call to AutomationElement.FindFirst returned a null value. The same method when called from a .NET WinForm application returned a valid AutomationElement.
If you encounter a similar issue, please bear in mind that UI Automation APIs only work from a STA thread. So if you ever want to get UIAutomation run from the console application, remember to decorate your Main function with the STAThreadAttribute.
