ASP.NET Development Helper update (v0.6)

Two new features along with an enhancement to the view state viewer have been added in version 0.6 of this tool.

I have updated the tool with a few new capabilities:

The ability to view the actual token-based format of serialized data as shown in yesterday's post on view state.
The ability to view items in the ASP.NET Cache (items added by your code or your components using the Cache API), and to forcibly remove them from the cache for debugging purposes.
The ability to shutdown your application if you need to restart your application from a fresh state.

Hope you find these new features useful. The binaries can be downloaded from here. Enjoy! And be sure to keep the feedback coming, both on existing features, as well as other things you think would be useful, via the comments link for this post.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Is there any way that we can get the source code for the browser extension and the HTTPModule??
Thanks

I tried to install this today and this is what the Visual Studio Command Prompt told me:

C:\dev\webdevinfo>gacutil /i nStuff.WebDevInfo.dll

Microsoft (R) .NET Global Assembly Cache Utility. Version 1.1.4322.573
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1998-2002. All rights reserved.

Failure adding assembly to the cache: Unknown Error

I also tried referencing it in my web project and visual studio told me that it wasn't a valid assembly or COM object.

Am I missing something?

Ben, this utility works with .NET Framework beta 2. The version should be 2.0.????.

Hi Nikhil, the tool looks excellent - any chance of a 1.1 version? I tried the version linked to by a previous poster but couldn't get it to install. I'll play with it some more. Seems like an incredibly useful tool tho. Thanks!

Sorry, no v1.1 version... its built using v2.0, and also has dependencies on v2.0 features - eg. view state viewer.

This is causing problems for me when accessing my development site from another machine. (In this case a virtual machine). Insted of being able to view the page I get an exception.

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
nStuff.WebDevInfo.DevInfoModule.OnApplicationEndRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e) +57
System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +92
System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +64

My app is using URL rewriting and is passing everything through to the aspnet ISAPI filter so I can server files like http://clah/page with no .aspx extension.
