When I am debugging and have a variable that is a button, the locals/
autos windows in Visual Studio display the value of the button
variable as {Text="button1"}. Does anyone know where this
functionality comes from, and how would I add it to my classes?

Thanks.

Override the ToString method.

The return value of the ToString() method is not what is displayed in
the Value column.

I figured it out:

Modify the following file:

<vsinstalldir>Common7\Packages\Debugger\mcee_cs.dat
