Auto-generates ToString() based on your class's fields and/or properties.

Your code:

[ToString]
class TestClass
{
    public int Foo { get; set; }
    public double bar;
    
    [IgnoreDuringToString]
    public string Baz { get; set; }
}

What gets compiled:

class TestClass
{
    public int Foo { get; set; }
    public double bar;    
    public string Baz { get; set; }
    
    public override string ToString()
    {
        return $"TestClass; Foo:{Foo},bar:{bar}";
    }
}

1. Install the NuGet package: PM> Install-Package PostSharp.Community.ToString
2. Get a free PostSharp Community license at https://www.postsharp.net/get/free
3. When you compile for the first time, you'll be asked to enter the license key.

Add [ToString] to the classes where you want to generate ToString, or use multicasting.

You can also use [IgnoreDuringToString] to exclude some fields or properties from ToString.

You can also set some formatting options in the properties of the ToString attribute. You can also set these formatting options globally by adding the assembly-wide attribute [assembly:ToStringGlobalOptions].

Possible options are:

• PropertiesSeparator
• PropertyNameToValueSeparator
• WriteTypeName
• WrapWithBraces
• IncludePrivate (includes also private members)

ToString will include all non-private fields and properties from the class including accessible fields and properties from any base classes.

If you want to exclude some fields or properties from ToString everywhere, for example, exclude everything that's protected, you can multicast the [IgnoreDuringToString] attribute like this:

[assembly: IgnoreDuringToString(AttributeTargetMemberAttributes = MulticastAttributes.Protected)
