- Go into debug mode (for example by pressiing F10)
- The select in the menu "Debug | Window | Watch | Watch 1"

This is exactly what should happen...

Hi, If I have the code line "DateTime d1 = DateTime.Now;" and look at d1 in the watch window, I thought I'd only see the properties of the DateTime object variable d1. However I seem to be seeing lots of other properties and objects - can anyone explain what these are and where they come from?

When debugging my current web project, in VS2003, I found I had lost the ability to drill down on watch objects in the Watch Window; I could only view the single value specific watch objects. Here's what I discovered. In addition to my main web project and several middle tier projects, I also added an "empty" web project in my solution (Add - New Project - Empty Web Project). This empty web project is what is causing the above...

Casting arrays that works on watch and command window but not in code. My application is casting arrays in a way it should work. To test if I was doing something invalid, I wrote a test code that has similar structure of the classes in my application. The test worked fine, the casting I want to do must work. I compared the structure of the test with the application to ensure they where similar (inheriting twice, base class implements...

look my simple code below(vc8): double ends; ends=8.3; when i debug it, the variable ends cannot be displayed in the watch window. it just said "error: index '0' out of bound for pointer/array 'ends'". why would this happen? Is it a bug of VC8?

Dear all, I've trouble with debugging a huge programm. I want to look into the properties of an object when I am at a breakpoint. But in the watch window he tell's me that the object is "out of scope". Two questions: 1.) Is there a way to look into an instance of an object even if it is not "visible" to the actual method. (Only with the watch window of the debugger) I know there is only one instance in the hole application.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
