Tips for using Statement Visualization
Statement Visualization is a new feature that we just introduced today. The key thought that led us when we were designing this feature is that debugging could be a lot easier if C# programmers had the same type of tool that air-force pilots benefit from – having a HUD display on top of the code editor as you step through code, showing you the most relevant information you need to solve the problem at hand.
See method return values, finally!
One of the most requested features of the … more

Making COM Debugging less painful with OzCode
While debugging COM objects has gotten a bit easier in Visual Studio 2010 with the addition of the Dynamic View, it still isn’t quite my idea of a picnic. One problem that kept driving me crazy is the inability to easily view collections through the on-hover datatip.
Not seeing a forest or any trees
For example, while debugging an application that automates Microsoft Word via the COM Automation model, I wanted to see the collection of open documents in Word.
Here’s what I … more

Using OzCode to flatten class hierarchies while debugging
While debugging deep class hierarchies in Visual Studio, I was often annoyed by having to constantly expand the “base” nodes to get to see the members I wanted to see. This happens because Visual Studio only shows fields and properties declared on the given type, and tucks all the members of the base classes under the “base” node. This is helpful in some cases, but more often than not, I found that it gets in my way.
And so, after trying Jared’s … more
