After you have created a visualizer, you must install the visualizer so that it will be available in Visual Studio. Installing a visualizer is a simple process.

To Install a Visualizer

  1. Locate the DLL that contains the visualizer you have built.

  2. Copy the DLL to either of the following locations:

    Install path\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers

    —or—

    My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Visualizers

  3. Restart the Visual Studio debug session.
