Is there a way to watch all variables when debugging in Visual Studio 2012 like i can do it in IntelliJ Idea 12? I have a window with all the variables(both global and local) when debugging in Idea and i want the same thing in VS 2012 (Autos window is not enough) . Help is very much appreciated. EDIT: All variables means variables that were already declared in code like:
Class Example
Dim i as Integer
Sub test()
Dim a as String
Dim b as Double
End Sub
End Class
When I enter test() Autos window no longer displays i.
Many options:
Autos While debugging you can enable 'Autos' which will show you values by every member on your class. Go to menu Debug->Windows->Autos to make it appear.
Locals While debugging you can enable 'Locals' which will show you all variables in the current stack frame. Go to menu Debug->Windows->Locals to make it appear.
Watch Although it is a little manually you also can use 'Watch' you can drag and drop any variable to this window or right click then add to watch. Go to menu Debug->Windows->Watch to make it appear. Note. You can enable more than one watch window :).
Mouse over Finally you can go over the variable with the mouse and you will see the variable's value.
