Running a Development Build
When running a Development Build, you'll have access to various tools for development such as: debugging, hot reloading, inspecting elements, etc.
To run a Development Build, build the whole project so that Truxton is installed (startover.cmd or compile.cmd). When Truxton is installed, ensure that the Truxton Analyst app is closed. Then run TruxtonClient from Visual Studio. Basically, we want the other services running so that the Development Build for the UI has the services to work.
When debugging, you can set breakpoints and use the different windows to monitor the variables, call stacks, and stack traces.
In the client view, a dev toolbar will be at the top of the screen. One of the more useful tools includes the Element Selector that will focus on the element in the Live Visual Tree in Visual Studio. Once focused in the Live Visual Tree, you can navigate and investigate the element and its parent and sibling elements. You can also directly go to the associated code with a click of the button.
