Gone are the days of dozens of test event handlers and breakpoints just to find out which events are fired in what order and under which circumstances! EventSpy catches all events of any Windows Forms Control or other event-raising object and writes event info, arguments and the call stack to the VS.NET IDE Debug Output window or to a file.EventSpy uses Reflection and dynamically built assemblies to accomplish this task.

Cathi Gero posted some code that allows you work with CSV files using CSVDataAdapter . Nice job!

To read the contents of a CSV file:

CSVDataAdapter CSVda = new CSVDataAdapter(@"c:\MyFile.csv");

CSVda.HasHeaderRow = true;

DataSet ds = new DataSet();

CSVda.Fill(ds);

CSVDataAdapter CSVda = new CSVDataAdapter(@"c:\MyFile.csv");

bool InclHeader = true;

CSVda.Update(MyDataSet,"MyTable",InclHeader);

This addin is an update to Mohammed Barqawi’s excellent DataSet Quick Watch addin.

I’ve summarized the enhancements below:

Added support for Typed DataSets
Added support for DataTables and DataRows (typed and untyped)
Added filtering support (based on DataViewRowState and free-text)
