A few years ago, some friends and I released Mole for Visual Studio 2008. Mole is a debugger visualizer that runs in Visual Studio while you are debugging .NET applications. Our goal was to make debugging easier, which Mole accomplishes because it provides a comprehensive view into all of your application’s data objects. Although the tool was created as a pet project to help us with our own work, it became quite popular, and has been downloaded more than 100,000 times (that we know about).
When Visual Studio 2010 was released, we had to make a decision. Either we could just upgrade the old Mole so that it works in Visual Studio 2010 (which some people have already done), or we could take the plunge and make Mole all that we knew it could be. We decided to take the plunge…
After a year of dedication and hard work, we are thrilled to announce that our new version of Mole is now available! Mole 2010 is the next generation of the Mole debugger visualizer, built to work in Visual Studio 2010. The new version of Mole makes the previous one look like a half-baked prototype.
Mole 2010 has many useful new features, bug fixes, and performance optimizations. Not only is it a more powerful tool, but it also looks much better and is easier to use. We rewrote the entire user interface in WPF, and even brought a professional Visual Designer onto the team to make sure that Mole looks as great as it works.
Our hard work resulted in a useful, powerful, and elegant debugging tool. We are extremely proud of Mole 2010.
We are selling Mole 2010 for $49.99 from our company Web site: www.molosoft.com
If you are a .NET developer using Visual Studio 2010, check it out!
Have a great day,
Just a grain of sand on the worlds beaches.

I can’t tell you how happy this news has made me Karl,…it’s been a long time coming Time to go badger my boss to stump up the funds m’thinks.
[...] Mole 2010 Released (Karl Shifflett) [...]
This looks like a really cool product, but without a demo or the possibility of my money back if I’m unhappy.. I’m going to end up passing this up for now!
We are working on a demo version and will release soon.
Karl
I agree with dotjosh. I’d love a 30-day demo or something.
We are working on a demo version and will release very soon.
Karl
+1 to trial or demo
Trial version in the works, will release soon.

Mole 2011?
It’s called Mole 2010 to match with the release of Visual Studio that is supported.
Karl
I loved the old Mole, and have been waiting for the day for your new one. The 50 bucks is fine by me. But….
I see no need for you to know my address, full name, or anything else. A valid credit card and an email address should be plenty. Send out a mail if you fix this, and I’ll purchase immediately.
You guys rock! Fix your purchase webpage!

Hi Karl,
I still don’t get it. Is Mole 2010 the long awaited version after Mole 4.2? Isn’t it about WPF anymore? Do you still work for Microsoft?
Peter
Hi Peter,
Yes, this is the new version of Mole. With respect to WPF, Mole has always worked with most Visual Studio project types. Mole 2010 is written in WPF and as you know, I love WPF.
Yes, working for the patterns & practices team at Microsoft.
Best,
Karl
Hi Karl,
Thats great to hear.
I just bought a copy. For me its the perfect WPF learning tool. But it probably has a lot more to offer.
Peter
Hi Peter,
Yes Mole is a great WPF training too and yes, Mole is a super tool that can be used on many Visual Studio 2010 projects.
Best to you,
Karl
