Some general rules:

  • Projects whose name starts with Visualizer are visualizer-related projects
  • Projects whose name starts with Tests are test- and test-related projects
  • Projects whose name starts with _ are scratchpad projects, tests of various expression trees using the visualizer development host

Code itself (not tests) lives in these two projects:

Project Description Type Contains Depends on
Shared Rendering library code Shared code ToString extension methods
Formatters
Literal rendering
Format string parsing
Visualizer.Shared Visualizer code Shared code VisualizerData
VisualizerWindow
VisualizerDataControl
WpfAutoGrid
Shared
