How do you enable/show the Host tab in Glimpse?


How do you enable/show the Host tab in Glimpse? It shows up in one of my projects but not in another, yet I can't see any configuration item which would cause the host tab to be enabled. If I click the "g" I can all the relevant details appearing (SQL etc) but it's useful to have the info on the HUD too.

It should look like this:

I'm using: Glimpse.Core 1.30 Glimpse.ADO 1.7.3 Glimpse.ASPNET 1.9.2 under WebForms.


Solution

  • You need to also install Glimpse.WebForms.

    The Glimpse.AspNet package contains a few tabs and useful abstractions across both MVC and WebForms, but nothing specific to the "Host" section of HUD.
