Extension method return not shown in results panel

dme · August 2012

I cannot get my extensions methods to show their results in the results panel.
Example:

void Main()
{
object o = new object();
o.DumpPoco();
}

public static class MyExtensions
{
public static object DumpPoco(this object value)
{
return "hello world";
}
}

I can call the method, but nothing shows up in the "Results" panel.

Can someone please help me out.

Thanks,
David

Your DumpPoco method needs to itself dump something. Try this:

public static class MyExtensions
{
  public static object DumpPoco(this object value)
  {
    value.Dump();
    return "hello world";
  }
}
