Automation tool suggestions for specific software (I think C#)

I want to automate a GUI of windows software (Not build-in in windows).

In general for these tasks i use autoit software and it works great.

Now with this specific software there is an incompatibility with autoit and i can't find the elements in the software with autoit info.

I think the software was written with C# (it requires .NET framework to be installed).

Is there any idea on how can I control this software ? Any alternative automation tool that can do the work ?

Thanks.

Edit: The problematic software name is SearchDiggity.

And I'm not sure the software written in C#, It's just an assumption because of the .NET requirement.

Automa might be useful for such tasks as well. It allows image-based automation (exactly like Sikuli), as well as text-based. For example, you can do things like:

click("File", "Save")
write("DocumentName", into="File name:")
press(ENTER)

etc. This is usually much quicker than automation using screenshots.

It works well with .NET/WPF applications (small example is available at http://www.getautoma.com/examples/automate-wpf-tree-navigation).

Disclosure: I'm one of Automa developers.

Another tool might work: Sikuli or here is a list of GUI testing tools on Wikipedia: GUI Testing Tools

Though I agree with @Narthring. I have never found a C# program that I cannot automate and get elements with in AutoIT.
