# EnumerableVisualizer
Visual Studio Debugger Enumerable Visualizer without any [Serialize] attribute, using Json. Works only with .NET.

*The .NET Core support might come with [Visual Studio 2019](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/idea/351618/custom-debugger-visualizer-for-net-core-apps-in-vs.html)*.

This is a still work in progres. Pretty much it is an un-edited experiment.

## Features
- Visual Studio 2017, 2019
- One level nesting, deeper items displayed in json string
- Displaying result in **DataTable** in **DataGridView**
- Column sorting
- Filter and highlight searched words
- Select, copy and paste to Excel
- Currently supported: List<>, Array, ArrayList

## Installation
Copy the following files from the folder **Dist** (or compiled files) to your version of Visual Studio c:\Users\YOUR-PROFILE-NAME\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Visualizers\

- CodeCapital.EnumerableVisualizer.dll
- Newtonsoft.Json.dll

## Known issues
- Many I am not aware of
- A list with duplicate property name (e.g. upper/lower case issue UserId, UserID) throws an error as DataTable doesn't accept duplicate columns, this is rather rare situation, most likely bad object design

## ToDo
- Create Tests
- Add more collection types
- Save window position, height, width
- Check if there are not better DataGridView options

At the moment we can visualize these simple collections, test examples:
