What you are looking for is called "beautiful print." Google ".NET pprint", maybe you're in luck.

Answer 4

As others have said: you can use the debugger to get a better overview if that is what you need. If you want to show the data in html, you can bind the object to the control, which is a much more powerful and flexible way to handle the output.

Answer 5

There is no function available in .net as print_r (). But in response, you can use your custom function and print array or IEnumerable. For example,

if (val is IEnumerable)
        {
            var e = val as IEnumerable;
            foreach (var i in e)
            {
                Response.Write(i.ToString() + "<br />");
            }
        }

Answer 6

You may try:

string[] weekDays4 = { "Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat" };
foreach (var item in weekDays4)
{
  Response.Write(item.ToString() + " test<br />");
}
