About Debugger Canvas
Debugger Canvas is a new user experience for the debugger in Visual Studio Ultimate. It pulls together the code you’re exploring onto a single pan-and-zoom display. As you hit breakpoints or step into code, Debugger Canvas shows just the methods that you’re debugging, with call lines and local variables, to help you see the bigger picture.

Debugger Canvas is the result of a collaboration between Brown University and Microsoft, integrating ideas from Brown University’s Code Bubbles project into Visual Studio.

This is what you can do in this version of Debugger Canvas:

Step into methods on a canvas using the debugger
Use the normal debugger features in the canvas
Share a canvas as an XPS image
Take snapshots of local variables so you can make comparisons as you step through code multiple times
Add related methods to the canvas using Go to Definition and Find All References
