I don't generally trust the debugger to display strings correctly.
See

Also, note that your way of doing comparisons "constant first" isn't
useful in C# - the more generally readable way (variable/property
first, constant second) still won't cause you problems if you have a
typo of "=" for "==" - because "if" expressions have to be boolean, you
could only end up doing an accidental assignment if the type of each
side was already boolean (in which case, comparisons with a constant
should usually just be expressed as if (foo) or if (!foo) anyway).
