Is ithere a WCF plugin for Glimpse?

Question

We have a Silverlight application that communicates with the back end via WCF. Is it possible to use Glimpse to monitor those calls like it does for AJAX calls?

Answer 1

An answer from one of the Glimpse developers, Anthony van der Hoorn (avanderhoorn), on one of the issues in GitHub states the following in regard to using Glimpse with WCF.

We don't have any immediate plans for WCF, but if someone in the community wanted to start work on it, we would certainly love to help support that effort.

So unfortunately the answer is No, not yet.

awesome! Do you know if it adds any overhead? Is there a way to turn it on/off? – Foust

...and Thank You for going to the effort! – Foust

I'm lost on how to add the component to my app. I know I add a reference, but how do i register it? Do i add it to my WCF app/host or to the web site code? Last question, will this allow insight into the EF6 code running in my WCF services? – Louella

The page mentions nuget, but I can't find it. Is it available on nuget? – Hukill
