Help with Data Visualizer - Serialization error when viewing IEnumerable objects

[Duckkiller53]

Could someone help with the following:

I have been working to create custom data visualizers for various types. I have successfully created a visualizer for Data Tables and now I would like to create one for Collections, IEnumerable's etc.

I have been struggling with what to use for the target in the Assembly and how to acquire the object passed into the visualizer. When I call objectProvider.GetObject() I continually get an error stating that the object is not serializable.

Would anyone know what I'm doing wrong or how to do this for Collection/IEnumerable. See code snippets below. Note: I'm first creating a collection with a linq query. ie: Dim col = from c in CustTable select c, then calling EnumerableVisualizer.EnumVisualizer.TestShowVisualizer(col) to test.

Thanks

Dave.


<Assembly: System.Diagnostics.DebuggerVisualizer(GetType(EnumVisualizer), GetType(VisualizerObjectSource), Target:=GetType(Object), Description:="ERNIE Data Visualizer")>



Protected Overrides Sub Show(ByVal windowService AsIDialogVisualizerService,ByVal objectProvider AsIVisualizerObjectProvider)


Try





'Dim test = CType(objectProvider.GetObject(), IEnumerable)


Dim obj =objectProvider.GetObject()



Catch






ex AsException


MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString(),"Visualizer Error",MessageBoxButtons.OK)


End Try

End Sub
