      Hi,

      is there an updated version of the C4DTypeViewer for VS 2013 to work with R13?

      Thanks

        Hello Klaus,

        unfortunately C4DTypeViewer is no longer being continued. Sorry. I think, since R15 its functionality has been integrated into the project files. So you don't have to install anything, it simply works. I know, this won't make you happy at all, but I'm only the messenger...

          Some background info...

          Starting with Visual Studio 2012 MS introduced a new technique for displaying objects in the debugger (which isn't compatible to the old type viewer). See:

          - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2013/06/28/using-visual-studio-2013-to-write-maintainable-native-visualizations-natvis.aspx

          - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj620914.aspx

          - https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsdesktop/Writing-type-visualizers-2eae77a2

          If you have spare time, you could try to port back natvis support for R13 & VS2013 based on the R15/R16 natvis files, but you're on your own with it (and be warned that due to sparse error messages of VS it needs some persistence to write a natvis extension).

          Best regards,

          Wilfried

            Thank you Wilfried. I've simply copied the c4dapis.natvis file from the C4D framework folder to %VSINSTALLDIR%\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers and it works!
