Robert,

I created a close of the repo and added support for VS 2013! I have been using 
it locally in the development environments with success. Here is a quick list 
of steps that I documented demonstrating my changes:

- copy csproj file for new version 'linqpad2013.csproj'
- create empty solution file that points to 'linqpadvisualizer2013' and 
'linqpadVisualizer4Test' projects
- add LINQPad.exe to References bin
- update to x86 target
- update Microsft.VisualStudio.DebuggerVisualizers reference to pull from 
Visual Studio 2013
- add [Serializable] to class objects that will be dumped

I would like to add support for 2013 if it has not already been added, but I 
would like your permission to contribute.  Also I am requesting that, if 
possible, you review the changes and make any suggestions needed.

I would like to continue development on this project.  I am requesting 
permission.

There is one minor nuances that I noticed when upgrading.  I have to add 
[Serializable] to all class objects that I want to run through new 
System.WeakReference(object).  I never had to do this before and I'm not sure 
how to proceed without the attribute.  For now I have been adding the attribute 
to my objects and then removing the attribute when I have completed development 
(not ideal by any means).

Thank you for taking the time to read the email.  This is a GDrive link to the 
new solution that I created.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start debugging
2. Pick a serializable variable to watch (using quick-watch or regular watch). 
I used a List<string>.
3. Change the value to System.WeakReference(variable)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the Dump HTML form. Instead, I get the following:
System.WeakReference(variable) 'System.WeakReference' is a 'type', which is not 
valid in the given context  

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.0.1 in VS2010 on Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. LINQPad v4.20.

Please provide any additional information below.
I followed all of the steps on the home page.
I also tried casting to System.WeakReference, but it couldn't convert the type 
(List<string>).
