# Format specifiers in C# in the Visual Studio debugger
You can change the format in which a value is displayed in the **Watch** window by using format specifiers. You can also use format specifiers in the **Immediate** window, the **Command** window, in [tracepoints](../debugger/using-breakpoints.md#BKMK_Print_to_the_Output_window_with_tracepoints), and in source windows. If you pause on an expression in those windows, the result will appear in a [DataTip](../debugger/view-data-values-in-data-tips-in-the-code-editor.md) in the specified format display.
To use a format specifier, enter the variable expression followed by a comma and the appropriate specifier.
## Set format specifiers
We'll use the following example code:
```csharp
{
int my_var1 = 0x0065;
int my_var2 = 0x0066;
int my_var3 = 0x0067;
}
```
Add the `my_var1` variable to the **Watch** window while debugging, **Debug** > **Windows** > **Watch** > **Watch 1**. Next, right-click the variable and select **Hexadecimal Display**. Now the **Watch** window shows the value 0x0065. To see this value as a decimal integer rather than a hexadecimal integer, add the decimal format specifier **, d** in the **Name** column after the variable name. The **Value** column now shows **101**.

## Format specifiers
The following table describes the C# format specifiers for the Visual Studio debugger.
|Specifier|Format|Original Watch Value|Displays|
|---------------|------------|--------------------------|--------------|
|ac|Force evaluation of an expression, which can be useful when implicit evaluation of properties and implicit function calls is turned off.|Message "Implicit function evaluation is turned off by the user"|\<value>|
|d|decimal integer|0x0065|101|
|dynamic|Displays the specified object using a Dynamic View|Displays all the members of the object, including the Dynamic View|Displays only the Dynamic View|
|h|hexadecimal integer|61541|0x0000F065|
|nq|string with no quotes|"My String"|My String|
