It allows you to spy/browse the visual, logical and automation tree of any running WPF application (without the need for a debugger). You can change property values, view triggers, set breakpoints on property changes and many more things.

In this version we finally got rid of support for snooping WPF 3.5 applications. This allowed us to move the Snoop projects forward to Visual Studio 2017 which should make it much easier to work with Snoop's source code. ### [2.9.0](../../releases/tag/2.9.0) Was released on July 27th, 2018. The big addition in this version was the inclusion of the triggers tab which was a useful feature of another WPF spying utility called WPF Inspector (written by [Christan Moser](https://github.com/ChristianMoser)). It was ported to Snoop by Bastian Schmidt. ## Documentation on how to use Snoop Unfortunately there isn't any exhaustive documentation on how to use Snoop and there are plenty of hidden features. If someone is willing to work on this, please let me know. On the bright side, it is a pretty easy utility to use and learn. I have made three videos which should get most people quick started.

Well, you can! You will just need to use Snoop 2.9.0 and earlier, in order to do so. As part of the process of moving to Visual Studio 2019, we have dropped support for .NET 3.5 applications. ## How do i build Snoop? Just open `Snoop.sln` with Visual Studio and build it. Requirements: - Visual Studio 2019 16.8 (including C++ payloads (x86/x64/ARM/ARM64)) - You can import the `.vsconfig` file in the Visual Studio installer to let it install all required components - .NET Core SDK 5.0.100 ## Contributors Over time contributions have been added by several people, most notably: - [Bastian Schmidt](https://github.com/batzen), [batzendev.de](https://batzendev.de) (current maintainer) - [Cory Plotts](https://github.com/cplotts), [cplotts.com](https://cplotts.com) - [Dan Hanan](http://blogs.interknowlogy.com/author/danhanan/) - [Andrei Kashcha](http://blog.yasiv.com/) - [Maciek Rakowski](https://github.com/MaciekRakowski) - [Bailey Ling](https://github.com/bling)
