Snoop for WPF 4.x Applications

[Cory Plotts]

I am curious ... has anyone gotten Snoop to work on WPF 4 applications?

 

It not be working for me. :(

 

I even tried converting the Snoop project such that it targets .NET 4.x ... and still no cigar.

 

Thoughts? Ideas? Even better ... solutions? :)

I didn’t try it. I will ask Pete Blois if he has plans to update for WPF4.

 

Cheers,

I sent him an email as well ... let me know if you find anything out.

LOL Poor Pete, he will feel bombed :) I sent an email this morning. I will
let you know, please let me know too in case.

Cheers,

Will do ... I'm debugging it right now ... and it is clear that the current Application is null ... when normally it wouldn't be. I wonder if this is the result of .NET 4.x/WPF 4.x ... running in the new version of the CLR (v4).

 

This, of course, is what made me try and convert Snoop to target .NET 4.x.

 

If I have any breakthroughs ... I will be sure to let everyone know here too.

 

Heh, heh. Pete's going say ... oh, no, it's that Cory guy again. :)

Seek and ye shall find! I was just able to get it to work using my converted Snoop project (which targets .NET 4.x).

 

I had a null reference exception that was hiding the fact that it was working yesterday with this same approach, but with a fresh mind, I was able to see that null reference exception (related to a focus feature I'm integrating in) and kill it.

 

So, it is verified then ... the current version of Snoop that is out there ... will not work against WPF 4 applications.

 

I recently went back and forth with Pete about putting Snoop out there as a CodePlex project ... given my recent efforts to make Snoop work with 64-bit applications (http://www.cplotts.com/2009/12/08/snoop-now-with-64-bit-support-and-more/). He thought it was a good idea and so I'm actually in the middle of doing so. It will eventually be published at http://snoopwpf.codeplex.com/.

 

I'll let everyone know when I get everything up there ... but it makes a lot of sense now to also publish (on CodePlex) a version that works with WPF 4. I'll add that to the list of things to do on this matter. Hmmm. That list keeps getting longer. :)

Thanks Cory.  I think having Snoop on CodePlex is a great idea, too.

Very cool, thanks!
