.NET: How to convert Exception to string?

Question

In visual studio that sort of information can be outputted by a debugger visualizer.

I assume that because it is possible to write your own debugger visualizer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e2zc529c.aspx

That in theory, if your can reverse engineer the built-in debugger visualizer for exceptions (if your can work out where they are stored) then you could use the same functionality.

EDIT:

Here is a post about where the debugger visualizers are kept: Where do I find Microsoft.VisualStudio.DebuggerVisualizers?

You might be able to use it for your own purposes.
