OrderForm Visualizer
Have you developed a pipeline component and then started to debug it and found that you couldn't drill down the OrderForm, Dictionary and SimpleList objects? Well here is the solution. I created this Visualizer to help with the debugging process of pipeline components.
What is a Visualizer?
Visualizers allows the displays of a variable or object in a meaningful way. For example, if you have a DataSet visualizer interprets a DataSet object and displays the result in a DataGridview. So the OrderForm visualizer interprets Commerce Server OrderForm which inherits from Dictionary and SimpleList in a TreeView. After installing the OrderForm visualizer run your pipeline code and set a debug point bring your cursor on the object you wish you view noticed that now you have a Dictionary Visualizer.
After selecting the visualizer the data is rendered in a TreeView.
You can now visualize the data in a tree structure by viewing the key\pair value and the data type.
Note: The OrderForm visualizer does not allow modifying the underlying data.

I haven't tested Visual Studio 2008 but I don't see any issues with using it.
