Mladen Mihajlovic Hex Visualizer fork
HexVisualizer provides a viewer for byte arrays so as to display them in a mini hex window. Very useful for debugging network packets and binary files.
Supports VS 2022 Community or Pro edition. Older VS 2019, VS 2017 extensions
Additional features:
- Visualizing string variables
- String and byte search
- Copy value to clipboard (right click on value in bottom panel)
- Visual Studio marketplace installation link
- Signed VSIX from repository releases
on VS 2022 it's pretty straight forward. Just explore a byte array
If you select a string a dialog will pop up...
On choice or if just a byte array...
May be useful for maintaining new Visual Studio IDE releases
Newer VS IDE releases and product types support is achieved by updating VSIX manifest and building extension on new IDE
- Update IDE install targets and its' version range
- Update Visual Studio MPF dependency version range
- Update IDE version ranges for prerequisites: .NET Framework & Visual Studio core editor
- Build and pack VSIX project release
- Generate pfx, if doesn't exist, for signing
- Sign VSIX package
vsixsigntool.exe sign /f <certfile> /p <password> /fd sha256 /v <VSIXfile>
- VSIX ready for install on Visual Studio. Profit
Uses the Be.Hex control from Be.HexEditor (.NET C# hex edit control)
