Snoop: Now Supports WPF 4.0

February 14th, 2010

This is just a quick post to point people to the fact that I have updated Snoop on CodePlex (http://snoopwpf.codeplex.com/) such that it now supports WPF 4.0.

If you try to Snoop a WPF 4.0 application with the WPF 3.5 version, you will get the following error message:

SnoopError

I speculate that this is because there is a brand new CLR with .NET 4.0 (WPF 4.0) applications. Yes, that’s right, a brand new CLR. We haven’t had one of those for a while.

If someone can confirm this or provide a better understanding of why I can’t Snoop WPF 4.0 applications without retargeting Snoop to .NET 4.0 … please shed some light for me.

So, there are now 4, count them, 4 versions of Snoop:

  1. Snoop 32-bit for WPF 3.5
  2. Snoop 64-bit for WPF 3.5
  3. Snoop 32-bit for WPF 4.0
  4. Snoop 64-bit for WPF 4.0
    You need to use the right version of Snoop in each particular situation … otherwise … thar will be problems, matey!

I have also added another label to the app chooser so that you know which version you currently have up. Take a look … this is what it looks like for the 64-bit/WPF 4.0 version:

Let me know if you have any problems by creating a discussion (or participating in a current one) on the http://snoopwpf.codeplex.com site.

Enjoy and happy Snooping! :)
