This is collection of visualizers for Microsoft Visual Studio debugger. Most of the visualizers are developed for Visual Studio 2012+ which uses new style XML-based visualizers.

Git repository: https://github.com/mloskot/visualstudio-debugger

Copy all or selected .natvis and .natfilter files to your profile folder

There are only two sources of documentation I have found:

1. Comments in defaultvis.natvis provide a good overview of the format

    %VSINSTALLDIR%\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers\defaultvis.natvis
   

2. The debugger visualizers XML Schema is installed in

    %VSINSTALLDIR%\Xml\Schemas\natvis.xsd
