Backport of #61320 to release/6.0
Fixes #61282
/cc @buyaa-n @annchous

Customer Impact

A customer reported a regression in CustomAttributeTypedArgument.ToString() introduced in 6.0, the customer using it for a code generator where it was producing a valid C# code, which was broken by this bug, there is a workaround by implementing custom ToString() methods or updating the string produced, etc. but it is better to be fixed in the SDK. There could be more customers affected by this, we might get more bug reports after they port to the .Net 6.0 release. The fix is trivial, just adding the missing curly brace back to the string, nothing new added.

Testing

A new unit test was added that reproduces the bug and confirms the fix with the expected string produced by CustomAttributeTypedArgument.ToString()

Risk

Minimal, the only risk I could think of is if the customer did a workaround that updates the string result from CustomAttributeTypedArgument.ToString()​ that would be broken by this fix, but as this is fixed in 7.0 they will be broken again with 7.0

@buyaa-n what is the impact on the customer though? can you add to customer impact section: how commonly do folks do this, how many apps are broken, is there a workaround, etc. Or is this just a bug someone happened to spot but with low impact.

I would not expect it to be used much and would break many apps, correct me if I'm wrong @romkatv, how is this is impacting you? For me, this is low impact bug and I requested this for servicing only because it is a regression and the fix has no risk

what is the impact on the customer though? can you add to customer impact section:

Sure, i will update that section

Thanks. Just being a regression isn't reason enough on its own to service shipped product. We look for evidence of sufficient impact, as well as risk.

@romkatv, how is this is impacting you?

I maintain a code generator that, among other things, invokes CustomAttributeData.ToString(). This method produces valid C# code. Well, used to. Due to #61282 my code generator's output does not compile. I've worked around this bug by reimplementing CustomAttributeData.ToString(), CustomAttributeTypedArgument.ToString() and CustomAttributeNamedArgument.ToString().
