For those people who work with multiple databases (Linq) in VS2008 Linq to SQL debug visualizer will be missed for all non SQL databases. In such case you could find "RV's LInQ to Entity debug Visualizer" very handy. So i thought Linq to Entities visualizer at http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/99468ece-689b-481c-868c-19e00e0a4e69 may also be in the above list.

Thanks

You may want to add my Enumerable Debugger Visualizer that displays any registered IEnumerable object in a datagridview.
