Most .NET devs never touch this. But it makes debugging 10x easier. Standard debugging view: {Namespace.ObjectName} Zero context. Lots of confusion. But with one line of code? Now your watch window shows: Order ORD-2025-001: Alice Smith - 249.99 Order ORD-2025-002: Bob Evans - 89.50 Order ORD-2025-003: Maria Lee - 1200.00 The trick? Use DebuggerDisplay. You add this attribute on top of the class to control how you want to display class info while debugging. Next time you're staring at {Namespace.ObjectName}, remember: it doesn't have to be that way.

Amend default debugging view for a class ⬇ I learnt something new recently ... we can change the standard debugging view for a C# class by using the DebuggerDisplay attribute. #dotnet

Debugging Complex Classes with the [DebuggerDisplay] Attribute "I needed to tame that debugging sprawl," says Benjamin Day (@benday) in describing how he overcame complexity trepidation to use this cool Visual Studio/.NET feature. #vslive #dotnet vslive.com/Blogs/News-and-Ti…

Another tip: you can even apply it to types you don't own (`[assembly: DebuggerDisplay(...)]`) learn.microsoft.com/en-us/do… learn.microsoft.com/en-us/do… This feature dates to .NET Framework 2.0, 2006 👴

We haven't found a performant way to make it use DebuggerDisplay, so it'll just be ToString for now. Proper support for complex types will be coming soon.

#NCrunch RDI is completly mind-blowing... I cannot be happier to renew my licence years after years to have such great features! Now I have to enhance my objects with DebuggerDisplay or ToString overloads, since I believe it's what it's used to display infos in RDI

C#はデバッガーを重要視していて、それはDebuggerStepThrough属性（デバッガで止まらないようにマーク、自動生成コードなどステップ実行のノイズになるものを除外）や、DebuggerDisplay属性（デバッガでの変数表示用の特別な表示を作れる）など、多様な手段でデバッガービリティを向上させられます。

Trick is to define custom type with DebuggerDisplay attribute and using Name for the key. Sep uses this too in the SepReader.Row. 👇 github.com/nietras/Sep/blob/… #dotnet

📂.NET System.Diagnostics DebuggerDisplay The DebuggerHidden attribute does not stop debugging in constructor, method, and property declarations When we stop on this class, we can view the data "formatted" as a string without having to open the whole object

Hey #csharp devs. Did you know @VisualStudio leverages the [DebuggerDisplay] attribute on your class to show values in the debugger that matter most to you? It saves you from overriding ToString() to do the same thing. Did you know this? @dotnet

Cómo usar la clase DebuggerDisplay en C# en Visual Studio para mejorar la productividad en las sesiones de #debug de tus aplicaciones! #developer #dotnet #vs2022

Nuovo video nel canale: "Miglioriamo il debug con l'attributo DebuggerDisplay"! Un attributo super utile, ma davvero poco conosciuto. #debug #visualstudio #dotnet youtu.be/FDPEKqQmG4g

I #learnedFromFsharpCompiler that debugger can be very useful, despite trendy hates against it. The following .NET attributes are handy for changing debugging appearance: [<DebuggerTypeProxy(typeof / typedefof<{proxyType}>)] [<DebuggerDisplay("X={expr}")>]

Wow! @maartenballiauw was right about this @JetBrainsRider feature. It’s like DebuggerDisplay on the fly. ✈️
