A couple of nice little programs to add to the RCE toolchest...


Developer Playground
http://www.blunck.info/dp.html

Hooks any process, and tracing single calls to external DLLs
Shows run-time DLL dependencies for running processes
Integrates with favorite tools such as Google, OleView, Depends and the Explorer
Saves trace output to text file
Comes with semi-integrated HTML help (not that it's necessary)


ComTrace
http://www.blunck.info/comtrace.html

ComTrace is a tool that will intercept both calls made on your interfaces and calls made to the COM library, and trace these for you. You will see the name of the method call, the parameters passed to the method and the returning HRESULT.

ComTrace will walk the callstack before method invocation and trace the values of the parameters. Before the call returns to the client, ComTrace will once again walk the callstack and hook any interfaces beeing returned to the client (such as [out], [out, retval] parameters).
