How Can I Display Unescaped Strings in the Visual Studio Debugger?

Display Unescaped Strings in Visual Studio Debugger

When debugging in Visual Studio, you may notice that strings with double quotes are displayed with backslashes, as shown in the image below. This can be confusing because these backslashes don't exist in the actual string.

To retrieve the actual value of the string without the escaping backslashes:

1. Hover over the string in the debug view.
2. Click on the magnifying glass icon on the left of the displayed value.

This will display the actual, user-friendly version of the string, which does not include the slash marks.

Please note that this behavior is expected in debug mode. The debugger is showing you the internal representation of the string, which includes the escape characters. The standard representation of the string can be viewed by clicking on the magnifying glass icon.
