Raising the Bar on DebuggerVisualizers

  • Article

I'm in Redmond this week to do some work around Web Services management.  Right now I'm trying to finish my WSE 2.0 SP3 Performance Counter implementation.  Although there are performance counter implementations out there (here is one) for WSE, I need specific counters per service and per operation.  I'm also trying to use WSE 2.0 SP3 on Whidbey Beta 2 for this.

I did some searching for the DebuggerVisualizer topic, trying to find out if my post had been found yet.  It has been found, in fact, and in only a few hours.  During my searching, I also found a number of interesting links to solid work around debugger visualizers.  Scott Nonnenberg has an excellent blog with quite a few posts around this topic.  He's a PM on the Debugging group within Visual Studio.  Scott's building an index of debugger visualizer entries, and some of them are very compelling.  It turns out that an image debugger visualizer is somewhat rudimentary, as I expected.  Scott's site has links to a graphical XML visualizer from Howard van Rooijen that is very cool.

On another note, Seth Demsey has some interesting posts about the RSS Advertising Syndication.  This is a very interesting development, which could be either very good or very bad, depending on your perspective.
