Tools for WPF development

Posted by Andreas Finne on August 10, 2009

Just a short note about a few tools that could be useful when developing WPF applications. Refer to the links for more information about the tools.

Snoop provides visual debugging of WPF applications at runtime.

Crack.NET is a runtime debugging and scripting tool. Also supports Windows Forms applications.

Mole is a Visual Studio visualizer allowing unlimited drilling into objects and sub-objects.

Check them out!

Update:

OJ points out in the comments that neither Snoop or Crack.NET will work with 64-bit processes due to the way the hooks are written. However, there is an x64 version of Snoop available on Dan’s IK Blog.

    Hi there,

    I was mucking around with these tools recently. Neither Snoop nor Crack.NET were able to do anything with 64-bit processes due to the way the hooks were written, and hence out of the three Mole is the only option if you’ve got 64-bit code…

    … unless you grab the x64 version of Snoop from Dan’s blog, which has worked really well for me.

    Just thought I’d share :)
    Cheers!
    OJ
