OSS Power-Ups: Snoop – Webinar Recording

Maarten Balliauw

The recording of our webinar, OSS Power-Ups: Snoop, with Bastian Schmidt, is now available. Subscribe to our community newsletter to receive notifications about future webinars.

This is the third episode of our OSS Power-Ups series, where we want to put a spotlight on open-source .NET projects. Snoop is the swiss army knife when it comes to analyzing and dissecting WPF UI. Unlike the XAML diagnostics inside Visual Studio, it can be easily installed and used on any machine – even on customer site – without hefty installation. Bastian Schmidt, the current maintainer, will give us a proper introduction. We will view and modify property values, inspect triggers from styles and templates, diagnose view binding errors and other common mistakes in WPF, troubleshoot events and find out where they are handled, preview and zoom parts of the UI (even in 3D), and probably much more.

Don’t miss this opportunity to power-up your WPF skills!
