Can the Visual Studio Debugger display strings unquoted/unescaped?

Question

The managed debugger in Visual Studio (I am using 11.0) displays string values containing double quotes and backslashes like this:

\"{\\\"Text\\\":\\\"C:\\\\         


        

Answer 1

I just found one more way of doing this in the debugger window.

Instead of

?myStringVariable

use

System.Diagnostics.Debug.print(myStringVariable, {"nq"})

That seems to stop the double quoting.

EDIT: An even easier way:

?myStringVariable,nq

Thats working for me in Visual Studio 2015
