Overriding ToString for Easier Debugging

jeremyjarrell.com — Did you know that you can override the ToString() method to make the debugger show you more information about your objects in the watch window. It's quick, it's easy, and it really works!

You can also use the DebuggerDisplay attribute, which I find to be superior than ToString.

[DebuggerDisplay("Count = {Count}")]
class MyCollection
{
....
}
