netcoredbg does not Utilize DebuggerDisplayAttribute #142

Open rudiejd opened 8 months ago

rudiejd commented 8 months ago

While debugging, I noticed that, unlike Visual Studio/VSCode, netcoredbg does not utilize the DebuggerDisplayAttribute to pretty print objects while debugging. This is especially useful for dealing with large objects from libraries (e.g. mocks) where it is unwieldy to sort through all attributes. Is there any way that this feature could be implemented?

DebuggerDisplayAttribute not supported for now and probably will not be implemented in near future, since require special parser for expressions and expression evaluation we don't have implemented yet.
