Can't rename an element... why?

Question

This seems like it should be simple...  set a new name for an element (in this case a MediaElement)

this.VidPlyr = this.control.content.findName("Video_Screen");  //OK

this.VidPlyr.Name = "MyNewName";  //FAILS
or
this.VidPlyr.setValue("Name", "MyNewName");  //FAILS

 when I try using the VisStudio "immediate" window I get this result

AG_E_RUNTIME_SETVALUE : Name

Why?... The SDK says this syntax should work.

Answer 1

 Quote from Silverlight documentation "The Name property cannot be changed once it has been set"

Answer 2

AAACK There it is in B&W in the SDK!  Can't believe I was looking right at it. 

 However... that said, I'm ALSO not able to alter teh TAG property yet the SDK says:  " This property is read/write. "

Same syntax as the way I attempted set Name also fails for Tag.

anyone else see this?

Answer 3

 Becuase Silverlight is no good

Answer 4

Works fine for me.  Changing the tag, that is.
