VS.NET IDE Issue

[Danial]

Hi Guys,
Recently I have having a small issue with VS.Net 2003 IDE. Untill recently when I am in the Break Mode and put my mouse over a variable or any .net Class I used to see content of the variable or the fully qualified path name of any .net class or component. Now when I put my mouse over I dont get any tooltip or content of the variable, its really annoying when you cant do that when you are debugging.

Is there a settings somewhere that I have missed, or can I reset the settings anyhow? It seem to work fine in my Laptop, I only have that problem in my PC. I am hoping its some sort of settings and I wont have to re-install VS.Net.

Thanks in advance.

Tell me about it. Its really annoying to have to use Debug.WriteLine to out the variable content when i am debugging, so used to just usiing Break Point and simply puting the mouse over the variable. I will wait for few more days and see if anyone comes up with any suggestion.

May be I should call up MS support or something..

Highlight the variable. Right click on it and select QuickWatch. Or add to watch and it will display in the watch window. I've had that problem before but a simple restart of Visual Studio and a rebuild of the code fixed it. Also you can go to tools and select Debug Process. Select you app in the list and see if that works.

Thanks for responding. I know about the watch and quickwatch. Its not very useful if you are debugging line by line and checking all variables to find bugs. I seem to have this problem with any project not 1 project. I will try the Debug Process thing you mentioned.
