My console prints out Collections.Cell 100 times instead of each individual Cell object (when using Visual Studio).

In my below code, the Visual Studio console prints 'Collections.Cell' 100 times instead of what the teacher's REPL produces. Can anyone see a problem with my code?

static void Main(string[] args) { Cell[][] sheet = new Cell[100][];

        for (int rowIndex = 0; rowIndex < sheet.Length; rowIndex++)
        {
            sheet[rowIndex] = new Cell[10];

            for (int colIndex = 0; colIndex < sheet[rowIndex].Length; colIndex++)
            {
                sheet[rowIndex][colIndex] = new Cell();
            }
        }

        foreach (Cell[] row in sheet)
        {
            foreach (Cell cell in row)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(cell);
            }
        }          
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

It's not clear that anything is wrong. I don't see where you defined "Cell" in this code, but it looks like a definition from the namespace "Collections" is being included. And in that case, displaying "Collections.Cell" would be correct since that would be the fully-qualified name of that object's class.
