Search ability within Watch in debugging?

Question

Just wondering if there is the ability to search while in watch? Instead of going through a million tree nodes, if I could simply search for the result and then it opens up the tree accordingly?

Just wondering if something like this is possible? (and if not, why not?)

Answer 1

No this is not possible in Visual Studio currently. There is no technical reason this can't be done though and has been suggested several times. I would encourage you to file a bug on connect in order to help make this a feature in the future
