   }

I'm trying to find the URL from google chrome browser.

And I'm using above code It is work good in other application but in my case it stops my application.

But the main issue is that it will work fine when I'm debugging it, so what wrong when no debugging.

It work fine if I point debug point before

AutomationElement elm = AutomationElement.FromHandle((IntPtr)handle);

But when after this line debugger doesn't work due to system hang

please give your solutions.

thanx in advance
