Parameters

context
The PostSharp location interception arguments.
previousValue
The value that the field is being changed from.
newValue

Return Value

A substitute description to use instead of the default generated description.
Remarks
By overriding this method you can implement your own custom description formatting for log messages in GField. Captions are generally short and often don't contain any insertion strings. Descriptions are designed for longer values and are shown in the Log Message Detail section of Gibraltar Analyst, along with the Caption (so it is not desirable to duplicate the caption in the description).
Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
