IVisualizerObjectProvider.ReplaceObject Method

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.DebuggerVisualizers
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.DebuggerVisualizers (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.DebuggerVisualizers.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub ReplaceObject ( _
    newObject As Object _
)
void ReplaceObject(
    Object newObject
)
void ReplaceObject(
    Object^ newObject
)

        newObject:Object -> unit
function ReplaceObject(
    newObject : Object
)

Parameters

  • newObject
    Type: Object

    The new object to replace the object currently being visualized.

Remarks

Replaces the object being visualized with a new object that you specify. This results in the newObject parameter being serialized and passed to the ReplaceData method.

Examples

public class DebuggerSide : DialogDebuggerVisualizer
{
   override protected void Show(IDialogVisualizerService windowService, IVisualizerObjectProvider objectProvider)
   {
      // Get a string from the debuggee side and display it in a message box.
      String myString = objectProvider.GetObject().ToString();
      MessageBox.Show(myString);
      
      // Modify the string and send it back to the debuggee side.
      String myNewString = myString.ToUpper();
      // Make sure the object is replacable before you try to replace it.
      // Otherwise, you will get an exception.
      if (objectProvider.IsObjectReplaceable)
      {
      // This example assumes the object source is expecting a string.
         objectProvider.ReplaceObject(myNewString);
      }
   }
// Other DebuggerSide methods ommitted for clarity.
