Types decorated with ExpandableObjectConverter are serialized as strings

[lawrence-laz]

Hi,

I have a type:

[TypeConverter(typeof(ExpandableObjectConverter))]
public class Foo
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int Bar { get; set; }
    public int Baz { get; set; }
    
    public override string ToString() => $"Foo {Id}";
}

and it seems like the attribute with ExpandableObjectConverter makes Verify serialize objects of this type as a strings "Foo 1", "Foo 2", etc. instead of as a complex object. Because of this other properties are not persisted in the verified file.

How can I disable this behaviour in Verify?

what is the use case for overriding the ToString?

[lawrence-laz]

The object is being displayed in WinForms PropertyGrid, while the object is collapsed, only .ToString() result is visible on that line, when it's expanded, each property is shown on a separate row.

I take it there is no way to disable this right now?

can you share a failing unit test as a pull request
