Public Enum DebuggerBrowsableState

Fields
Collapsed | 2 | Show the element as collapsed. |
Never | 0 | Never show the element. |
3 | Do not display the root element; display the child elements if the element is a collection or array of items. |
Examples
The following code example shows the use of the DebuggerBrowsableState enumeration to instruct the debugger to not display the root (property name) of the Keys
property, but to display the elements of the array that Keys
gets. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the DebuggerDisplayAttribute class.
[DebuggerBrowsable(DebuggerBrowsableState::RootHidden)]
property array<KeyValuePairs^>^ Keys
{
array<KeyValuePairs^>^ get()
{
array<KeyValuePairs^>^ keys = gcnew array<KeyValuePairs^>(hashtable->Count);
IEnumerator^ ie = hashtable->Keys->GetEnumerator();
int i = 0;
Object^ key;
while (ie->MoveNext())
{
key = ie->Current;
keys[i] = gcnew KeyValuePairs(hashtable, key, hashtable[key]);
i++;
}
return keys;
}
}
[DebuggerBrowsable(DebuggerBrowsableState.RootHidden)]
public KeyValuePairs[] Keys
{
get
{
KeyValuePairs[] keys = new KeyValuePairs[hashtable.Count];
int i = 0;
foreach(object key in hashtable.Keys)
{
keys[i] = new KeyValuePairs(hashtable, key, hashtable[key]);
i++;
}
return keys;
}
}
<DebuggerBrowsable(DebuggerBrowsableState.RootHidden)> _
ReadOnly Property Keys as KeyValuePairs()
Get
Dim nkeys(hashtable.Count) as KeyValuePairs
Dim i as Integer = 0
For Each key As Object In hashtable.Keys
nkeys(i) = New KeyValuePairs(hashtable, key, hashtable(key))
i = i + 1
Next
Return nkeys
End Get
End Property
Remarks
DebuggerBrowsableState is used to simplify the view in the debug window. Use of the DebuggerDisplayAttribute attribute using this enumeration can result in a much simpler and more pleasing view in the debug window. See the DebuggerBrowsableAttribute class for information on the use of this enumeration.
