RSCG Example – ToStringDebugger – part 28

This will generate code .ToString. Usefull for debugging
 

The code that you start with is

    [StructGenerators.GenerateToString(PrintTypeName = true)]

    class Person

    {

        [Required]

        public string FirstName { get; set; }

        public string LastName { get; set; }

    }

The code that you will use is

    var p = new Person();

    p.FirstName = "Andrei";

    //put here a debug watch to see p

    Console.WriteLine(p.ToString());

The code that is generated is

    partial class Person

    {

        /// <inheritdoc/>

        public override string ToString()

        {

            var sb = new StringBuilder();

            sb.Append("Person ");

            sb.Append("{ ");

            if (PrintMembers(sb))

            {

                sb.Append(" ");

            }

    

            sb.Append("}");

            return sb.ToString(0,Math.Min(sb.Length,/*String rep limit*/ 1024));

        }

    

        /// <summary>

        /// Prints the content of the instance into a given string builder.

        /// </summary>

        protected virtual bool PrintMembers(StringBuilder sb)

        {

            sb.Append("s = ");

            sb.Append((object)s);

            sb.Append(",");

            sb.Append("ID = ");

            sb.Append(ID);

            sb.Append(",");

            sb.Append("FirstName = ");

            sb.Append((object)FirstName);

            sb.Append(",");

            sb.Append("LastName = ");

            sb.Append((object)LastName);

            return true;

        }

    }
