I have installed the visualizers per the instructions in the v2 documentation but I can't get any of the visualizations working. I'm using .NET 2.0 generated code in VS2005 but for the life of me, I can't figure out what's wrong.

do the magnifier icons appear when you hit a breakpoint and you hover an entitycollection for example? or do you get an error? Also is your application an asp.net application?

I don't get any magnifying glasses on EntityCollections, Predicates, etc. as specified in the docs. There are no errors. I tested against a console app as well as an ASP.NET app but neither worked.

Do you get debug visualizers for basic dataTypes (string for instance)?

Yes, I get the regular Text, HTML, and XML visualizers. I am using custom SD.LLBLGen.Pro.DQE.SqlServer.dll and SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ORMSupportClasses.dll DLLs as I've made some modifications to them to suit our purposes.

Those are the DLLs that I copied to the Visualizers folders and not the DLLs in the SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ORMSupportClasses.NET20.dll and SD.LLBLGen.Pro.DQE.SqlServer.NET20.dll. However, using even the NET20 DLLs didn't work either.

aha! then you have to build the debugvisualizers as well. As these reference the shipped runtime libraries and thus the signatures of the assemblies don't match with what you use in your project. The debugvisualizers code is in the runtimelibs sourcecode folder as well.

Of course...yep, that did it. Recompiled with references to my modified runtime libraries and it works like a charm! Thanks for you help!
