We live in an age where product age always seem to require a “hook.”.  Whether it’s Microsoft putting either “Visual” or “MS” in front of every name or the ubiquitous “iCrap” you can’t avoid, it’s refreshing to find an application that is not only state-of-the-art but is simply named.

Snoop is one such program.  It snoops.  More than anything else out there, it lets you drill-down into the visual tree in a WPF application.

I could go on and on about it, but seriously.  If you’re doing any development in WPF, any serious development, you need this application.  Even if you’re just trying to understand WPF more, Snoop will expose WPF’s way of doing things more than anything you may ever find.  You just have to see it to understand what I mean.
