Hawkeye - The .Net Runtime Object Editor
Extend your world!

 

How many times did we think "Wouldn’t it be nice if this product would have '...' functionality?".

If it's our product we can "just" add that functionality. Maybe we don't really need it in production or it is a debug only functionality, but we add it in the code because we need it in a specific location.

Hawkeye now changes this perspective giving the possibility to extend any .Net application at runtime without the application even knowing or noticing that.
