Is there an Expression Tree Visualizer for VS 2012?

Is there an Expression Tree Visualizer for VS 2012? Have had a search but have found the VS 2008 popping up all over the place, and the new VS 2012 doesn't have a Visualizers folder in the installation directory. Or, am I missing something that I should be able to switch on?

Solution

  • What you can do is fix the visualizer for vs 2010 so it works in 2012. This is very easy. Just get the source from this project : http://exprtreevisualizer.codeplex.com/ and change the DebuggerVisualizers assembly reference of the ExpressionTreeViewer project to :

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies\v2.0\Microsoft.VisualStudio.DebuggerVisualizers.dll

    So that it works with the newest version of vs2012. After that copy the results to

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers

    and it should work
