IL Debug Visualizer for Compiled Lambda Expressions, MethodBase and DynamicMethod
Mark Watts just emailed me with cool news. He took the Dynamic Method visualizers I worked on and created a version of them that will also work and show the IL on Lambda Expressions. here's the full list of changes he did to the source code:
1) Solution and projects all coverted over to VS2008
2) References to Microsoft.VisualStudio.DebuggerVisualizers updated to version 9
3) M3 and M4 methods added in the test project to demonstrate how to use the new functionality
4) MethodBodyVisualizer added DebuggerVisualizer attribute to target Delegates - not 100% certain this is safe but there is a lot of spelunking around where the brave fear to tread in this project. :)
5) ILReader project
* Updated ILReaderFactory.GetReader to attempt to recognize when the target is a lamda expression and retrieve the correct MethodBase for it.
* Updated DynamicScopeTokenResolver to handle GenericFieldInfo - Compiled Expressions store strings and the like in a global generic field array that is part of the delegate and is of type GenericFieldInfo.
* Download available here -
Install:
- take the dlls from the bin directory
- put them under my documents\visual studio\visualizers.
- if the directory does not exist, create it.
