Newlines in the Immediate Window

Using Visual Studio 2010 Professional, I have a ToString() method that looks like this:

public override string ToString()
{
    return "something" + "\n" + "something";
}

Because there are several "something"'s and each is long, I'd like to see

something
something

Sadly, I'm seeing

"something\nsomething"

Is there a way to get what I want?

Actually there is a way. You can use format specifiers in the immediate window to change the format of the display. If you have a string with carriage returns and linefeeds in it ("\r\n") you can follow the print request with the 'no quotes' format specifier.

In the immediate window type:

?MyObj.ToString(),nq

and the \r\n will cause newlines in the immediate window.
