Context Since Visual Studio 2022 (17.x), the IEnumerable Visualizer opens collections in a sortable, filterable grid that loads rows incrementally, instead of forcing one-by-one expansion in the Watch window. Our team is moving debugging habits from DebuggerDisplay / DebuggerTypeProxy attributes toward this visualizer for inspecting large in-memory datasets.
Visual Studio Account‑Based Token Caching Visual Studio signs in a Microsoft or Azure AD account and caches access tokens locally. These tokens are reused for Azure resource management, Git over HTTPS, and authenticated NuGet or Azure Artifacts feeds. When a token becomes invalid—due to password change, refresh‑token revocation, or Conditional Access policy—
