re: Visual GCRoot via DGML

Thanks Shilpa, you should copy vgcroot.dll to the winext folder where windbg is installed and run:

.load vgcroot

Then you can run !help vgcroot for detailed help.

I think ClientMessageInspectors is MessageInspectors in NET 4.5

But this way you're defeating the purpose of IExtensibleDataObject in the first place...

It would be far better if you would just implement the "On serialize" (constructor with SerializationInfo & StreamingContext arguments) and "On deserialize" (GetObjectData()) methods of ISerializable interface, and handle the binary serialization yourself by manually adding the ExtensionDataObject serialized via DataContract, and the rest with binary serialization. That way you can keep the functionallity of IExtensibleDataObject and binary serialization together, without breaking anything.

It looks like a bug and you just have a workaround.

Any reason for such strange behaviour?

Oran, thanks for commenting. I'm not working on TFS anymore, so I recommend that you post the question on the TFS forum: social.msdn.microsoft.com/.../threads

There could be new changes in the product that I'm not aware of.
