    Hello @Emil Alipiev ,​

    Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

    long strings are tail wrapped in the watch window. String Visualizer is not also exist. How is it possible to see very long strings in watch window?

    When debugging the string value, please click Locals option at the bottom part of the VS. Then click the pen-like icon to get to the Value Visualizer window, you could get the complete strings there.

    Best Regards,

    Jarvan Zhang
