Visual Studio Immediate window: how to see more than the first 100 items

DOK picture DOK · Nov 23, 2009 · Viewed 31.6k times · Source

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 see these in a Watch window, but that's not the same.

I know this was almost to years ago, but I came up against this today. Sometimes its useful to see the list in the immediate window rather than looking in the watch window. You can easily see more results than the first 100 by using:

yourList.Skip(100).ToArray()

Which really doesn't take long to write and works well - was useful for me.

Update: As pointed out in the comments below, this answer is actually wrong and applicable ONLY to collections and NOT to objects with lots of properties. I'm leaving it here as lots of people seem to have found it useful.
