Using the Debugger Visualizer

LightSpeed includes a Visual Studio debugger visualizer which you can use to view the SQL statements generated by a LightSpeed query object.

To install the visualizer for Visual Studio 2008:

·         Copy Mindscape.LightSpeed.DebuggerVisualizer.dll to
My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Visualizers or
(Program Files)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers.

To install the visualizer for Visual Studio 2010:

·         Copy Mindscape.LightSpeed.DebuggerVisualizer.dll to
My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Visualizers or
(Program Files)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers.

To use the visualizer:

·         Start a debug session.

·         Examine a LightSpeed Query object in a DataTip, a debugger variables window or the QuickWatch dialog. You will see a magnifying glass icon next to the text.

·         Click on the magnifying glass icon to display the query SQL.

The debugger visualizer supports only query objects, not LINQ queries.
