Mole, the new WPF visualization tool
12 December 2007 in ProgrammingRemember Snoop? Well, there a new tool in town, and promises to do even more. The name of this new Visual Studio Visualizer is Mole II, and was created by Josh Smith, Andrew Smith and Karl Shifflett.
From the blog:
Mole is a high performance, full featured, multifunction visualizer that allows in-depth inspection of the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) visual and logical trees. For each element in the visual or logical tree the developer can view all properties, visual image, run-time XAML or IEnumerable collection data.
Mole allows developers to drill back into the managed heap and view properties and data structures of the above objects and all their child sub-objects.
You can download the binaries for VS2005 or VS2008, or even the complete sources at their Blog or at the CodeProject Article.
From my short tests, I was happy to see the lightning fast performance they so humbly promised.
