Remarks

Constructor to create a visualizer development hostby using a data object that you want to test the visualizer on and a type that identifies the visualizer class.

Examples

// MyObjectSource is an object you derive from VisualizerObjectSource.
// Objects deriving from VisualizerObjectSource and VisualizerObjectProvider
// allow you to customize communication between the debugger and debuggee sides.
// For simple visualizers, you do not need to do this. 
public class MyObjectSource: VisualizerObjectSource
   {
     // ObjectSource methods ommitted for clarity.
   } 

// MyVisualizer is the class you write to create the visualizer 
public class MyVisualizer : DialogDebuggerVisualizer
{
   // Here is where you put the methods to show your visualizer.
   // They are ommitted here for clarity.
   // ...
...// The following method creates and shows the visualizer development host: 
   public static void TestShowVisualizer(object MyDataObject)
   {
      // This statement creates the host:
      VisualizerDevelopmentHost visualizerHost = new VisualizerDevelopmentHost (MyDataObject, typeof(MyVisualizer), typeof(MyObjectSource));
      // This statement calls the host to show the visualizer:
      visualizerHost.ShowVisualizer();
   }
}
