Object Test Bench is one of the features my team has created. You can create, inspect and make method calls on Objects visually using Object Test Bench. You can do the same things with reflection APIs but OTB enables you to do it without writing any code. You can create objects from class Designer or from Class View. You can find the Beta1 documentation for OTB at http://whidbey.msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dv_objtstbnch/html/27370d43-efd0-48ad-aad6-eaab1cb077a2.asp
Some of the OTB screen shots are at http://www.atrevido.net/blog/default.aspx?date=2004-06-13. We have significantly revamped the UI in Beta2.
I hope this feature would be useful to students, hobbyists and VB6 programmers who are new to .NET. I am interested in getting feedback on Object Test Bench. Please let me know your suggestions, comments. Don’t forget to send me a mail if you find any bugs!!
