As part of a debugging session, I wanted to visualize a byte array as a string so I did a little googling for something that would display data in Visual Studio as a string. The following article: http://www.alexthissen.nl/blogs/main/archive/2006/01/21/debugger-visualizers-and-arrays.aspx claims it's not possible. I'll believe him.
What I did to workaround the problem was to inspect the MemoryStream (since that is where the byte array I'm interested is buried) then in the QuickWatch window I typed:
System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(ms._buffer)
where ms is my MemoryStream.
That displays a string that I can look at with the string visualizer. Problem sort of solved.
