Custom ToDump works in Rich Text but not Data Grids?

raboof · October 2019

I have a class for which I have implemented a custom ToDump that returns a sequence of integers, an IEnumerable<int>. In Rich Text mode, the returned sequence is iterated and rendered as one would imagine, but in Data Grids mode, it dumps the sequence object instead of iterating its elements:

This feels like a bug. Is there a fix or workaround to this?

I have also uploaded the query to Instant Share. Press Ctrl+Shift+T to enter Rich Text mode, then F5 to run the query and you should see a sequence of hundred numbers display display. Ctrl+Shift+G to enter Data Grids mode, then F5 to run the query again this time you should see something similar to the image above.

ToDump isn't designed to work with data grids. Fixing this would require introducing another method, perhaps ToGridDump, because ToDump can return Util.RawHtml or a WPF control.

Any chance of getting that fix in an upcoming minor version?
