Where's my Immediate window???

I load up a web project or a win forms project, run it and get the debugger and the project loads. I put in a break point, it stops on the break point. I go down to my command window that in the past allowed me to do things like lblSomething.Text and it would spit out the value of the .Text property and it is now some sort of shell thing with a > beside it that doesn't allow me to do this anymore. (Even RC1 allowed this and defaulted to it correctly) So I go to the view command looking for the Immediate window and I sitll can't find it.

What am I doing wrong I can't use VS.net 2005 until I have this, it's just such a huge waste of time at this point.

I'm having the same problem - no immediate window selection oon the debug -> windows menu.

Is there a known solution

I'm running 2005 Architect RTM, and it's not under debug -> windows. The Ctrl+Alt+I command works though.... Strange.

Which version of Visual Studio are you using

I am using Visual Web Developer Expresss (RTM) and when I debug a project I do see the Immediate Window you can bring it up from the Debug menu -> Windows -> Immediate. Or using Ctrl + Alt + I shortcut key.

Once you bring it up you can continue to use the syntax of typing the instance variable.property syntax to see the value of the property, just like before.

Problem solved --- Found a solution in the VB IDE forum, which was to reset my settings by going to the Tools -> Import and Export Settings... -> Reset All Settings wizard.

Type in Ctrl-D, I

In VS.NET 2005, you can find all available debugging windows under Debug->Windows.

I have the same problem as others. "Immediate" is missing from the Debug | Windows menu. There are some other menu items that don't show up for me either like "Step Into". Ctrl+D, I doesn't work either, but Ctrl+Alt+I does. My keyboard mapping is set to the default, not VS6. I even went into settings and reset it, just be be sure, but there's no change.

This must be a bug in the IDE (perhaps on machines that previously had VS 2003 installed )

and I'm running team suite with architect, developers and testers and when I look under Tools -> Options -> Keyboard, it gives the shortcut for Debug.Immediate as CTRL+D, I.

You are appearantly using the Visual Studio 6 keyboard mapping, where the default is Ctrl+Alt+I.
