Type Inspection for Troubleshooting

<div class="debug-info">
  <h3>Type Information</h3>
  <ul>
    <li>model: </li>
    <li>model.user: </li>
    <li>model.count: </li>
    <li>model.price: </li>
    <li>model.isActive: </li>
  </ul>
</div>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    user = "John Doe",
    count = 42,
    price = 19.99m,

<div class="debug-info">
  <h3>Type Information</h3>
  <ul>
    <li>model: <>f__AnonymousType0</li>
    <li>model.user: System.String</li>
    <li>model.count: System.Int32</li>
    <li>model.price: System.Decimal</li>
    <li>model.isActive: System.Boolean</li>
  </ul>
</div>
