Change how variables look in debugger, vb.net 2003

Question

I've been given an old VB.net 1.1, Visual Studio 2003, project. When debugging DateTime shows as #09:34:00 AM#, the date-part is hidden. I would like to see which date the DateTime is.

I've tried to modify mcee_cs.dat, but that doesn't seem to do anything. Is there some other file I should modify to get my desired behavior?

You can add a watch for a custom expression. OK, simple enough: add a watch for the following expression:

YourDateVariable.ToString("CustomFormatString")

See the MSDN for custom format strings.
