HOW TO USE A VISUALIZER?

You can use a visualizer to display the contents of a variable or object in a way that is meaningful for the data type. You can use visualizers from DataTips, a Watch window, the Autos window, or the Locals window.

Visualizers are not supported on the Compact Framework.

To open a visualizer

1.     Click the magnifying glass icon that appears next to a variable name in DataTips, a Watch window, or in the Autos, Locals, or Quick Watchwindow.

A list of visualizers is displayed.

2.     Click the visualizer you want to use.

To use a visualizer for managed code during remote debugging

• Copy the visualizer DLL to the remote computer before you start the debugging session.

The path to the DLL must be the same on both the remote and the local computers. This path can be either of the following locations:

 Visual Studio install path\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers

-or-

 My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\VisualizersVisual Studio Version\Visualizers

USE OF VISUALIZER IN CLASSROOM

Visualizers are becoming increasingly common in classrooms and are now seen as a vital teaching and learning tool. A visualizer acts like a webcam which is connected to your whiteboard or projector allowing you to display things to the whole class using the large screen display in your classroom. It can be used to display a lesson live to the projector screen or simply use as a high tech replacement to an overhead projector to show text, images and objects on your classroom display. Visualizers are put to use at its best when displaying 3D Models and Specimens.

Here’s a number of ways you can use visualizers for teaching and learning:

·          To project image, object, book’s pages onto wide screen in magnified size

·          Demonstration to students on how to do assigned work

·          Zoom-in on reading texts and point-out certain topics/ words

·          Zoom-in on objects for detailed observation by class of students

·          Displaying student’s work to whole classroom

Visualizers makes it easy for teachers to show resources and artefacts to the whole class without having students crowding around struggling to see what is going on. It also saves time and money on photocopying numerous documents and allows you to save video recordings or capture images to transfer to your laptop or interactive display to distribute to students or to other teachers.
