In Visual Studio, is there a way to automatically convert an objects data to object creation code?

In Visual Studio or in a VS plugin, is there a way to automatically convert an objects data at run time to generated class initialization code? I am trying to create test data and It would be really convenient to have the ability to copy a run time objects data into object initialization code through intellisense.

If this isn't possible or has yet to be created, are there alternatives to accomplish something similar?

Object Exporter extension lets you export out an object while debugging in Visual Studio to C# Object Initialization Code, JSON and XML.

I don't think there is a build-in function for this, but you can easily write one yourself if you're talking about C# with Reflections.

With C/C++ shouldn't the hexdump of the object be enough, if you just write the raw data at the position of the pointer?

Assuming you're talking about C++ - this is called copy constructor and it's part of the language definition.
