Question

I want to ask if there ‘s some debug tools to show the result in a flat table to facilitate finding any logical errors .

For Example ::

Now I want to see all these rows in a flat table instead of each one through the debugger .

Is there any tool like LINQPad for example for this purpose ?

Answer 1

The debugger of Visual Studio has already a builtin DataTable visualizer. Just click on the loupe-symbol and you can inspect it as table.

If you don’t analyze a DataTable but a DataRowCollection(as in your screen shot), you can use this in the quick-watch-window of the debugger:

rows.Cast<DataRow>().CopyToDataTable()

After you have executed it there, you’re able to click on the loupe to inspect the table. That works also with a Linq query or a Rows property of a DataTable.
