Add DebuggerDisplay Attribute
This code generation applies to:
- C#
What: The DebuggerDisplay Attribute controls how an object, property, or field is displayed in the debugger variable windows.
When: You want to pin properties within the debugger programmatically in your code.
Why: Pinning properties allows you to quickly inspect objects by their properties by bubbling up that property to the top of the object's property list within the debugger.
How-to
Place your cursor on either a type, delegate, property, or field.
Press Ctrl+. to trigger the Quick Actions and Refactorings menu and select Add DebuggerDisplay attribute.
The DebuggerDisplay attribute will get added along with an auto method that returns the default ToString().
