Debugger Visualizers are one of the coolest debugging features of Visual Studio 2005.
Earlier I talked about a Regular Expression Debugger Visualizer for debugging regular expressions in Visual Studio 2005. Howard van Rooijen from Conchango has created a debugger visualizer for XML that appears to improve upon the XML visualizer already included with Visual Studio 2005.
From Howard's blog:
“Visualizers are associated with different CLR types and are a means of displaying complex type information. The Conchango Xml Visualizer is registered against the XmlDocument type. In the screenshot below a breakpoint has been hit – if you mouse over the globalList variable a DataTip will appear – if you click on the spy glass icon you will launch the associated visualizer. If you select the down arrow icon (as pictured), a menu listing all available Debugger Visualizers for that type are displayed and you have to select the one you want to use.”
Looks really cool. Check it out here.
