<div>
Example: I've a simple struct/class which contains an int value, and some methods to fiddle with it.<br />
In debug mode, when I put the mouse over a variable, it displays the hint of '{MyNamspace.MyClass}' whereas a hint showing me the value of the int would be a lot more friendly..<br />

Cool. I'll have a look tomorrow.<br />

You'd have thought it would be easier to attribute tag some function, or provide a, say, IDebugInfo interface you could implement in-class...

I agree. The help is sparse and the file is embedded way deep in the products directory tree. I have to do a search to remember how to change this each time I have a need.

Can you change the text that the debugger tooltip and watch window generate?<br />
By default, on anything other than a simple type, they seem to show the class/struct name. It'd be nicer if they could display something better formatted. I'd hoped they might use ToString() but they don't.. Is there an attribute or interface or something I can implement to get them to prettify output...?<br />

Debug tooltip expression evaluation..

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
