<p>The <code>DebuggerDisplayAttribute</code> is used to determine how an object is displayed in the debugger window.</p>
<p>The <code>DebuggerDisplayAttribute</code> constructor takes a single argument: the string to be displayed in the value column for instances of the
type. Any text within curly braces is evaluated as the name of a field, property, or method.</p>
<p>Naming a non-existent field, property or method between curly braces will result in a BC30451 error in the debug window when debugging objects.
Although there is no impact on the production code, providing a wrong value can lead to difficulties when debugging the application.</p>
<p>This rule raises an issue when text specified between curly braces refers to members that don’t exist in the current context.</p>
<h2>Noncompliant Code Example</h2>
<pre>
&lt;DebuggerDisplay("Name: {Name}")&gt; ' Noncompliant - Name doesn't exist in this context
Public Class Person

    Public Property FullName As String

End Class
</pre>
<h2>Compliant Solution</h2>
