Window forms testing, creating a test brace

I came across two great articles by James McCaffery, one on lightweight test UI automation and the other on creating UI automation suites with VS. Both these articles are a great resource if your writing test braces for win form apps.

Those are two interesting articles - however both rely on reflection. This appears to make the tests time consuming to write and very fragile -- the smallest rename and the tests break in very mysterious ways. Is the API you mentioned in the previous post likely to be less fragile? Is there anything in the way of an overview?

I've been playing with NUnitForms (http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/mlevison/archive/2004/04/14/11415.aspx) for nearly a year now - while it does the job, its been hard work. Again the resulting tests are very fragile. So fragile I've stopped developing new NUnitForms tests for now.
