Stepping Through ForEach blocks C# with VS Debugger?

Question

EDIT: This question has been closed.

Apologies to all - my confusion was caused by the fact that my keyboard (an ancient IBM) has finally given up the ghost and was randomly delegating presses to other keys.

=== ** Original Erroneous Post ** === Is there some way of stepping through ForEach blocks e.g. when doing a straightforwad iteration through a List? The debugger seems to jumps straight over them.

My work around involves commenting out the .ForEach

and replacing with an old skool

for (...) 

block. Is there a proper solution to this?

Answer 1

Failure to reproduce. I often step through foreach() loops.
The 'jump straight over' behaviour sounds more like an empty loop.

Try to write a small Console App that demonstrates this, Post it and then we can talk further.

Answer 2

Looks like whatever you are trying to iterate over is empty.

Answer 3

Check that your code hasn't been optimised away due to nothing happening in the loop. When encountering this sort of behaviour in the past i have inserted a Console.WriteLine(some property from iterated object) to ensure the code isn't optimised out by the compiler.

Answer 4

Ignore me, I'm an idiot with a dodgy keyboard :-D

All sorted now, thanks for looking.
