XAML Inspector: Live Visual Tree View & XAML Editing

Inspect, troubleshoot and prototype XAML-based UIs in Windows apps with real-time visual tree view and editing capabilities for XAML markup.

What is XAML Inspector?

XAML Inspector is a developer tool for inspecting, troubleshooting and prototyping XAML-based user interfaces in Windows apps. It allows you to visualize the live XAML visual tree of any running Windows app or component and interact with it.

Some key features of XAML Inspector include:

  • Live visual tree view - See the full XAML visual tree and interact with it while the app is running.
  • Runtime editing - Modify XAML properties and see changes take effect instantly without recompiling.
  • Template editing - Edit control templates and styles and view updates live.
  • 3D view - Inspect composition trees in 3D views.
  • Xaml overlay - View layered adorners showing measurements, margins, paddings etc.
  • Find node - Search for nodes in complex trees using various criteria.

XAML Inspector integrates deeply into Visual Studio to allow inspection during debugging sessions. It is useful for developers building custom controls and experimenting with XAML designs and animations. The live editing makes rapid prototyping very fast compared to the compile cycle.
