Solution structure

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

Projects which describe various deployments:

| Project | Description | Type | Depends on | | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | | ExpressionToString | Builds the NuGet package | .NET Standard 2.0 | Shared | | Visualizer.2017 | Builds the visualizer against VS 2017 | .NET Framework class library | Visualizer.Shared
Shared | Visualizer.2019 | Builds the visualizer against VS 2019 | .NET Framework class library | Visualizer.Shared
Shared
