Enhanced the documentation for
DebuggerDisplayAttribute
properties (Value
,Name
, andType
) by adding information about format specifiers and links to the Visual Studio debugger format specifier documentation.Changes Made
All three properties now link to
/visualstudio/debugger/format-specifiers-in-csharp
for detailed syntax information, making it easier for developers to understand how to format debugger display strings.Example Impact
Before: Users had to search for format specifier syntax documentation elsewhere.
After: Users can directly access format specifier documentation from each property's documentation page, learning about syntax like:
{fieldName}
- displays field value{propertyName,nq}
- displays property value without quotes{methodName()}
- calls and displays method resultFixes#11288.
