I added this resource to my long list of ASP.NET MVC 3 Tutorials and Resources.
We all know how indispensible Firebug is on the browser to debug client-side code, so wouldn’t you like to have similiar functionality for debugging ASP.NET MVC 3 on the server?
Glimpse allows web developers to debug a web service right in the browser. It is a lightweight JavaScript “plugin” that understands the Glimpse Protocol and knows how to render the data. Currently it only supports ASP.NET MVC and WebForms, but it will eventually support PHP, Ruby on Rails, and Node.js.
From an ASP.NET MVC 3 perspective, Glimpse has
- Route Debugging
- Ajax Support
- Tracing in ASP.NET MVC
It is available for free via Nuget and the best way to understand its capabilities is to watch the short video.
