Dump object graph with (depth:1, alpha:false) into DumpContainer

in General

Basically I have a complex nested model object that I want to dump out as-is, and use the collapsible header to explore. However the object is really heavy with about 5 levels of nesting, so I must dump it as depth:1, and ideally alpha:false as well because I'm converting it to an ExpandoObject and controlling the sort order myself.

If I do myModel.Dump(depth:1, alpha:false) it works perfectly. But as I do fresh dumps they accumulate to the bottom of my output window. I'd like to put it in a specific spot in my output GUI and replace it on click of a button.

If I try to put it in a DumpContainer instead, using something like:

packetContainer.Content = Util.RawHtml(Util.ToHtmlString(true, 1, myModel)));
packetContainer.Refresh();

It does indeed put it in the container, but the headers are not clickable, and I don't seem to have an option to control alpha:false either.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

    If I understand the issue correctly, then AFAIK the methods you need are internal and you can only access them if you are willing to use Uncapsulate to access these methods.

    See an example script here https://share.linqpad.net/gxvuaji3.linq

    If it does what you want, then maybe you can request these methods be exposed to us.

    Have you tried this:

    var dc = new DumpContainer().Dump(depth:1, alpha:false);
dc.Content = myModel;

    DumpContainer also has a DumpDepth property, so another option is to do this:

    var dc = new DumpContainer().Dump(alpha:false);
dc.DumpDepth = 2;
dc.Content = myModel;
