On my last machine I had created a way to see a GUID variable while debugging by hovering over it. I don’t remember what it was (a visualizer?).
I have a new 64 bit machine with vs2008 – is there anyway to mouseover a guid value and have it appear? What makes guid’s so special that their value doesn’t show like most variables?
I wrote a blog article on how to do this awhile back. It doesn’t require a visualizer and the results will just show up automatically.
Also, this is fixed in VS2010 such that the GUID will always display inline by default. No extra steps necessary.
