当鼠标 hover 而不是可理解的日期字符串格式时，Visual Studio 调试器将日期时间显示为刻度

Question

In visual studio (I'm using 2019), during debugging, when I hover over a DateTime object, it shows the date in Ticks instead of a readable date string (such as YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss, etc).

The picture below shows this annoying behavior.

I remember in my old visual studio 2017, it showed date-time objects in "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.ttt" format. How do I change this?

Answer 1

I agree with reynoldsbj . I think you have pinned the Ticks property in the LoadAreaTo Drop down menu bar so that it will overwrite the default Date property.

This is a video about the detailed description:

You should unpin the property Ticks so that it will show date-time objects in YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.tt format.

Answer 2

Click the dropdown in that previewer and unpin Ticks or pin Date if you want to see both.
