021 - Watch window formatters

Another debugging topic today.

Let's look closer at Watch window 🔍 in Visual Studio.

Using it, we can observe values of our variables while the code is running but sometimes that's not enough. To enhance we can provide a specifier - an extra value after a comma, that will influence how, the value is displayed.

For example, if we want to print a string value and strip the quotes, we can use ",nq" to achieve that.

Adding ",h" will print numerical value as hexadecimal and ",d" will format it as decimal. The full list is available via the link below 👇.
