I don't know how hard this would be, but when using the visualizer I see a flat grid of the entities in the grid each column corresponds to a field.

It would be very helpfull if there was a way to explore the entities and entitity collections that are part of the entities being displayed.

Ok, I'll replace the silly GridView with a DataGrid control simple_smile (which is also part of the .NET 2.0 assemblies so that should work).

There's a problem though: in selfservicing, people will perhaps click open a collection which then will lazy load itself which might not work, or if it works will give a false perception what's in the collection at that given moment in the debugger.

For eaxample if my invoiceEntities contained in an entitycollection have a CustomerEntity and a InvoiceItemEntityCollection, I'm asking for the ability to see the contents of those too.

in selfservicing

Yes, do you think a don't do that if you are using selfservicing would be enough? wink

Doesn't llBlGen libraries know which is being used?

Yes they do, so I could switch off navigation for selfservicing in the viewer. simple_smile
