Create a VS 2005 Debugging Visualizer
Visual Studio 2005 visualizers allow you to see the data contained in a variable. For this example we will create a visualizer to see the value of a guid. To create a visualizer we need to start with a class library project. Add a reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.DebuggerVisualizers and System.Windows.Forms. Set the build output path in the compile tab of my project to My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Visualizers.
