  • Ernie Booth's Silverlight Plug-in For Reflector

    0 comments  /  aggregated from  Mike Harsh's Blog  on  May 19, 2007 (more than a year ago)   /   original article

    Ernie has created a Silverlight plug-in for Lutz Roeder’s Reflector.  Reflector can already be used to view Silverlight v1.1 CLR assemblies, but this plug-in enables you to look at the code for any Silverlight app (managed or javascript) simply by providing the URL.  This is very handy tool for anyone looking to get into Silverlight development as it lets you quickly answer the “How’d they do that?” question.  Of course with this comes the inevitable issue of IP protection.  Ernie’s post has more information on that topic and a set of good links for obfuscating managed code.

  • Check out Snoop - a very useful tool for debugging WPF applications

    0 comments  /  aggregated from  Adrian Vinca's blog  on  Nov 29, 2006 (more than a year ago)   /   original article

    Some time ago, Peter Blois posted "Snoop", a tool which I find really useful for debugging WPF applications. It allows you to:

  • Browse the visual tree of running WPF applications
  • Inspect properties of elements at runtime
  • Edit properties of elements at runtime
  • Inspect RoutedEvents that are occurring, including the elements that handle them
  • Magnify sections of the UI
  • Find and debug binding errors

    You may find more info and downloads on the Snoop official web page:

    Long time since my last post, but don't worry- I haven't been idle.

    My latest little project is Snoop, a Spy++ like utility for WPF applications, but cooler.

    • Browse the visual tree of running WPF applications.
    • Inspect properties of elements at runtime.
    • Edit properties of elements at runtime.
    • Inspect RoutedEvents that are occurring, including the elements that handle them.
    • Magnify sections of the UI.
    • Find and debug binding errors.

    My favorite part of Snoop is that it can even be run on the latest releases of Sparkle- if you're curious how Sparkle is put together, snoop it!

    It's essentially a set of utilities that I found useful while developing and debugging Sparkle, the feedback from the rest of the Sparkle developers has been quite positive so I'm hoping other WPF developers will find it useful as well.

  • Snoop: An essential tool for debugging and perf work with WPF

    0 comments  /  aggregated from  Tales from the Smart Client  on  Aug 21, 2006 (more than a year ago)   /   original article

    My colleague Pete has it up on his site:  http://www.blois.us/Snoop/

    This developed out of internal tools originally built into Expression that help us inspect our visual tree.  Originally we dumped the tree to a text file, then Pete put some UI on it, then Kenny incorporated the UI into Expression, and since then Pete has raised the stakes repeatedly making it standalone and adding features such as being able to inspect and even set values in the tree, and to be able to set breakpoints on data changes. 

    Yes, you can debug databinding in WPF using Snoop.
