VB.Net has a the very handy "with" statement, but it also lets you use it on an unnamed variable, like this: With New FancyClass() .Level = "SuperSpiffy" .Style = Slimming .Execute() End With Is there a way to get at the "hidden" instance, so I can view it's properties in the Immeidate window? I doubt I'll get it in the w...
Anyone know of a command to clear the immediate window in visual studio? I hate having to grab the mouse for a right click menu there - would rather just type "cls" or something. ...
The immediate window is an immensely useful tool for debugging applications. You can use it to execute code statements that are valid in the context of your break point and inspect values. I also use it to type code snippets to learn language features. How do you use the immediate window? ...
Does Eclipse have an analog to Visual Studio's "Immediate Window", a window where I can evaluate statements while in the debugger? ...
I am trying to see the properties of an object with over 300 properties in the Immediate Window of Visual Studio 2005. Only the first 100 items are displayed, followed by this caption: < More... (The first 100 of 306 items were displayed.) > I am trying to see the rest of the items, but can't figure it out. I realize that I could s...
How can I using the output window write all the members of an object? Trace.WriteLine uses method ToString and doesn't output all the members. Is there API to do it without writing own code? ...
Hey guys, just installed on my Mac Snow Leopard OSX: Mono 2.6 and Monodevelop 2.2 I've created a simple C# Console App: public static void Main (string[] args) { Console.WriteLine ("Hello World!"); Console.Read(); } When I start to type "Console" intellisense works perfectly. When I run the app in Debug mode...
When I try to see the internal list of Dictionary item I hate to expand every single node one by one. I'm looking for an easier way to do this. For example: I've got a Dictionary object Dictionary(Of AnotherObject, Integer) and I want see a property of AnotherObject as a list during the debug. Normally I'd use this: For Each item As ...
So, I have a vector std::vector<std::string> lines. I fill this vector up, and can access it like std::string temp = lines[0]; However, in the immediate window, both lines[0] - error:overloaded operator not found and lines.at(0) - error:symbol is ambiguous don't work at all. Is there a trick to using the immediate wind...
Hi. I have a question about debugging in Visual Studio. Is it possible to clear the Immediate Window in Visual Studio automatically before each startup of a debugged application? The >cls command and Context Menu->Clear All are useful, but they are not automatic and require personal attention each time I run the application. Again, Syst...
A friend of mine claims that calls to Debug.Print() as well as first-chance exception notifications appear in the Immediate Window for him. I found this surprising; for me they only appear in the Output Window. MSDN claims (here) that you can implicitly enable them in the Immediate Window by explicitly disabling them in the Output Windo...
I'm trying to automate the process of opening crash dumps for managed applications and retrieving the stack trace. Windgb works sometimes, but getting it to load the correct version of sos.dll is a nightmare unless the machine processing the dump is practically identical to the machine where the dump occured. Visual Studio, on the othe...
Using Visual Studio 2010 Professional, I have a ToString() method that looks like this: public override string ToString() { return "something" + "\n" + "something"; } Because there are several "something"'s and each is long, I'd like to see something something Sadly, I'm seeing "something\nsomething" Is there a way to get wh...
I see some related questions have been asked, but they're either too advanced for me to grasp or lacking a step-by-step guide from start to finish (most of them end up being insider talk of their own experiment results). OK here it is, given this simple program: #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main() { FILE * f; char...
I learned about entering into the immeidate window >of filename trick in visual studio, but when I enter a period, which is reserved for separating menu items, it populates some junk that is irrelevant to what I want. For example, if I type >of web.config, and as soon as I get to the period (4th character) it would populate junk into the...
Today something peculiar happened while debugging in VS 2008. I will give the small code snippet List<IPageHandler> myPageList = TaskSOM.PageList; if( myPageList != null && myPageList.Count > 0 ) { PageHandler aPage = myPageList[0] as PageHandler; ...; // Some more code below } While running the application the typecast f...
I asked a question recently regarding a http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3863657/peculiar-behavior-of-immediate-window-in-vs-2008 peculiar behavior that I observed in the immediate window. After some debugging I found the issue the following example can reproduce the same. // SimpleClassLib.dll namespace SimpleClassLib { ...
I dynamically assigned an array as follows: unsigned char **nonces=new unsigned char*[n_cases] Is there a way to nicely print it out in the immediate window? Alternatively, it would be nice to make the locals window display it properly. ...
