Cool ViewStateAnalyzer ASP.NET 2.0 Utility

Cristian Civera recently forwarded me a pointer to a really cool client-utility that he has built that provides support for analyzing ASP.NET content markup and view-state usage within a page.  The below screenshot gives a good idea of some of the things you can do with it:

You can learn more about it and download it for free from here.  Very cool stuff to check out!

Hope this helps -- and special thanks to Cristian for building it!

You have to register to download, but all instructions are in Italian. Can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas?

Interesting, althought author himself could provide some comparison to infamous Web Development Helper built by Nikhil Kothari:

Now, if only we all moved to Firefox instead of making IE stuff hehe.

Everything I bought books for, I am now learning from Scott, at NO COST !!. Another great tutorial Scott.
Scott, with the platora of widgets that gives a developer different ways of doing same thing, which is your favorite when it comes to database related stuff?
Keep up the good work.

Scott,

You've been posting some fantastic content lately. Please keep it coming :).

I am though still not convinced on the ObjectDataSource/Paging post, that demo's paging as a capability of SQL2k5, not ASP.NET or ObjectDataSource. I fail to see what value ObjectDataSource adds to my architecture - why would I ever wanna use it? Anyway, just my views.

Sorry guys,
you can download directly it here

I think there is a big difference between "Web Development Helper" and VSA. _The first use client side information and it has simple viewstate decoder. VSA use custom handler to keep viewstate saved and html rendered by each control.

Here's one more collection of links.  It took me quite a while, and I threw out 90% of the links...

The tool does not work for me. When I click on “Analyse” it try to access a page with the url of the page I am on + “.vsax” at the end. The browser then says that the page do not exits.
