    Hi Joe

    Thanks for exposing this functionally in the new Beta. Since I can't use Dump directly, I have created a new extension method Print as follows

    static class Extension
    {
    public static string Print<T>(this T o)
    {
    var writer = LINQPad.Util.CreateXhtmlWriter();
    writer.Write(o);
    return writer.ToString();
    }
    }

    To view contents of any variable during debugging, I simply add myVariable.Print() to the watch window and use Visual Studios build in HTML visualizer to see formatted XHTML.

    Thanks a ton
    Anunay

    This works if your project is simple library or a console app. In my case the VS project I'm working on is huge with over 15+ references.The variables I want to dump exist in deep nested classes which can only be instantiated after multiple UI interaction setps. I just can't call my project from Linqpad without making some serious changes to it.
