Roslyn: DebuggerTypeProxy RawView must come first

[MkazemAkhgary]

when a collection has 1000 items, ill see 1000 items first and I have to scroll down all over (and wait for a lot of time) to see RawView at end.

Why is it like that? it should be at first so some one doesn't want to see 1000 items in collection and just want to access and view internal fields can do that without trouble.

I want to access this without scrolling down!

Something like switching DebuggerTypeProxyExpansion.cs from

if (_proxyItem != null)
{
    _proxyItem.Expansion.GetRows(resultProvider, rows, inspectionContext, _proxyItem.ToDataItem(), _proxyItem.Value, startIndex, count, visitAll, ref index);
}

if (InRange(startIndex, count, index))
{
    rows.Add(this.CreateRawViewRow(resultProvider, inspectionContext));
}

To

if (InRange(startIndex, count, 0))
{
    rows.Add(this.CreateRawViewRow(resultProvider, inspectionContext));
    count--;
}

if (_proxyItem != null)
{
    _proxyItem.Expansion.GetRows(resultProvider, rows, inspectionContext, _proxyItem.ToDataItem(), _proxyItem.Value, startIndex, count, visitAll, ref index);
}

?

@benaadams yes please.

@jinujoseph Could you help route/triage this?

I don't think we want to move Raw View to the front. Raw View is not what most users want to see.

That said, I think we can improve visualization of arrays in VS. For example, VS Mac displays them using a tree view, where you can dig into parts of the array by groups, e.g.:

+ [0-999]
   + [0-99]
   + [100-199]
       ...
   + [900-999]
+ [1000-1999]
+ [2000-2541]
Raw View

On every level there are at most 10 entries. Getting to the end is easy.

@tmat that will work too. It would be also good if you wanted to jump to specified index. When i want to debug a parser i want to see content of arrays, they are not small. That forces me to write separate code to see content.

A textbox that is always visible would help.

@tmat chrome takes a similar approach in is dev console - its a very useful representation
