DOM Debugging - kaisu1986/ATF GitHub Wiki

While debugging, you can view DomNode data and events using ATF tools.

ATF provides a variety of facilities to make it easier to debug the DOM:

Debugging the DOM with Visual Studio: ATF defines helper private classes in DomNode to make it easier to view a DomNode's internal data. This topic shows how to get DomNode information to help you when debugging the DOM in Visual Studio.
Using DomExplorer: The DomExplorer component allows you to visualize the contents of a DomNode tree in a tree view.
Using the DomRecorder Component: This component records DOM events on the active context and displays them in a list in a window. This topic discusses the DOM events recorded and shows an example.

These topics are a part of the section Development, Debugging, and Testing, which describes ATF debugging in general.

Topics in this section

What is the DOM For: Overview of the DOM's features and advantages.
It All Starts With Data: Defining application data models with types, especially using XML Schema.
DomNodes and DOM Metadata Classes: The fundamental DomNode class and its type metadata classes, such as DomNodeType. Application data resides in a tree of DomNodes.
Type Loaders: Loading the type definition file into the application to use the file's data types and create type metadata class objects.
DOM Adapters: DOM adapters allow adapting DomNodes to other types and monitor events in the DomNode tree to validate data.
DOM Property Descriptors: DOM property descriptors make it easy to use property editors on application data and are stored in type metadata.
Using DOM Metadata for Palettes and Other Items: Type metadata can hold all sorts of data, such as palette object information.
DOM Persistence: Persisting application data using classes to write the DomNode tree to XML and read it back to a DomNode tree.
DOM Debugging: ATF tools to facilitate debugging DOM code.
DOM Use in Simple DOM Editor: Explains how the ATF Simple DOM Editor Sample uses the DOM.
