Discover how to use the .NET Framework and Controls with the .NET Component Inspector

nogoop software has released the .NET Component Inspector that provides a quick and easy way for developers to understand how to program efficiently using the .NET Framework and controls. On any object, you can invoke methods, set or inspect properties and fields, trace events, and (for controls) use a visual design surface.

Anyone who has developed using a new technology or unfamiliar controls knows "the best way to understand it is to use it". Using it often requires writing some test code that manipulates a control and watching what it does in execution. Now, with the .NET Component Inspector, you no longer need to write this test code. You can manipulate any object's methods, properties and fields using a graphical drag and drop interface which includes a visual design surface.

Often you need to understand the exact sequence of events emitted by an object. Using the .NET Component Inspector you can see which events are generated and in what order. The .NET Component Inspector also shows the causal relationship between events, the stack trace when the event was generated, and the event object. Event tracing can be enabled for all events associated with an object, or for selected events.

The visual design surface is the first implementation of the component designer host in a non-Microsoft product. This design surface uses the .NET component design architecture in the same manner as Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, so the full design and execution capabilities of controls are available. You can also freely switch immediately from design mode to execution mode for a control, using the same object, something not possible with Visual Studio .NET.

The .NET Component Inspector also simplifies looking at collections of objects by directly showing the members of the collection, instead of showing the details of the collection object (e.g. the ArrayList) implementation.

The .NET Component Inspector includes a type browser for assemblies, and a viewer for the global assembly cache (GAC).

The .NET Component Inspector costs $45(US) for a single user license and can be purchased securely at http://www.nogoop.com. It runs on Windows 2000 or XP and requires the released version of the .NET Framework runtime. For more information contact http://www.nogoop.com - sales@nogoop.com.
