I'm in VS debugging. I click the green arrow to begin. I reach a
breakpoint. I find my "Command Window" at the bottom of the screen which I
usually use to type something like:
?myvar
to which I get a response of the current value of myvar.
HOWEVER...
Now there is this ">" which doesn't allow me to do this any more.
I'm sure this is silly/stupid, but I don't know how to get rid of that
stinkin' ">" so I can actually use this command window for debugging. I'm
sure the ">" means something important, (and I'm open to any comnents of
enlightenment on that too<G>), but I just want it to allow me to use the
"?varname" syntax as before.
What config did I inadvertently change? How do I change it back?
Thanks,
Larry

Type immed in the command window to display the immediate window or if
you are a mouse user, select Debug->Windows->Immediate to show it.

Hi Bryan,
Am developing windows application using VB.NET 2003 but this error
appears whenever I use Command-Window Immediate:
The expression cannot be evaluated while in design mode.
Although i switch to debug mode already. Please help...howd you work this out,

Thanks.

Are you getting this message while the debugging is running?

Hi Bryan,

No actually that time. But now I made it worked. I put a breakpoint and run
with debugging, then press Gtrl+G to immediate window.

My question now, is it not allowed to declare new variables while in the
immediate window? Such as x = 13

Thanks

Variable assignments in the Immediate window while debugging is allowed.

Are you getting an error message when making the assignment or is it
just not working at all?
