Hi,

Is DebugVisualizer that comes with LLBLGen 3.0 package will work with on a LLBLGen 2.6 code project OR do I have to manually put 2.6's SD.LLBLGen.Pro.DebugVisualizers.dll into the required folder for VS 2010?

The debugger visualizers reference a specific ormsupport classes. So if you use v2.6, you have to use the v2.6 debugger visualizers, as these refer to the v2.6 ormsupportclasses, the assembly which instances you're visualizing simple_smile For v3, you therefore need the v3.0 visualizers.

Do you use them at the same time in the same vs.net instance? As that's not possible without us changing the filenames. I tested with multiple subfolders in the visualizers folder but of course that didn't work...

Hi Otis,

Have two VS2010 projects, one in lllgen version 2.6 and other in 3.0 and required to open the these projects in 2 separate instance of VS2010.

Thanks.

You may copy one version in the vs.net 2010 visualizers folder in program files, but other than that, it's not going to work as the ormsupportclasses dlls have the same name.

You may also rename the debuggervisualizers dll, but not the ormsupportclasses dll which is referenced by them. You could add the ormsupportclasses dll to the gac, but that's not free of charge, as it would mean you have to update that dll when a new one is released. Well you could do that for v2.6 though, as that one isn't updated that much anymore.
