<ComVisibleAttribute(True)> _ Public Enumeration DebuggerBrowsableState
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)] public enum DebuggerBrowsableState
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)] public enum class DebuggerBrowsableState
[<ComVisibleAttribute(true)>] type DebuggerBrowsableState
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Never | Never show the element. | |
| Collapsed | Show the element as collapsed. | |
| RootHidden | Do not display the root element; display the child elements if the element is a collection or array of items. |
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.
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)> _ 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
[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)]
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;
}
}
