Is there (there has to be!) a way to print to the immediate window like VB's debug.print statement?
Also, in VB you could breakpoint then type (in the immediate window) a function and it would print the function's output, like now(). In C# it will print properties, but won't execute functions. Why?
IE
>? string.length
10
>? string.ToStrin()
error
System.diagnostics.debug.writeline :)
it should print out hte values. HOWEVER if you reference some function without the () it will just spit out the function name, (ie, do .ToString() not ToString )
doesn't Console.Writeline() do the same?
The Immediate window has two modes: immediate and command (I think). I used to know how to switch between the two but I haven't used it in so long I can't remember. I'm sure a quick help search would turn up something. I know it's very simple, like entering a few characters. I believe the second mode would allow you to execute functions. Also, you can use the Watch window to evaluate pretty much anything that is valid for the current context.
umm Console is supposed to write on the console window (like if you have a Console project then you should use that). and Debug is supposed to control the debugger window, I think :rolleyes:Quote:
