Debugging Shell Navigation

Question

Hello Friends,

I was wondering if anyone knows where to put my DebuggerDisplay Attribute annotations so that I can debug my navigation requests. Thanks !!!

Debugging navigation

Some of the Shell classes are decorated with the DebuggerDisplayAttribute, which specifies how a class or field is displayed by the debugger. This can help to debug navigation requests by displaying data related to the navigation request. For example, the following screenshot shows the CurrentItem and CurrentState properties of the Shell.Current object:

You can decorate classes, fields or properties with DebuggerDisplay attribute.

For example, assuming you have a class like this:

[DebuggerDisplay("[{X},{Y},{Width},{Height}], Area ={Width*Height} ")]
public class Rectangle
{
    public int X { get; set; }
    public int Y { get; set; }
    public int Width { get; set; }
    public int Height { get; set; }
}

At debug time, you can see the debugger display like this:

You can use { } as part of the formatted text, and the text could be name of a field, property, or method. As you can see in the above example, you can use expressions between {} as well.
