Variables values

Variables values

• Laurence Hunter

  Set a breakpoint in your code, or put them inside a setter method so when they change you can set their value on a control somewhere.

  Take a look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0taedcee.aspx which contains more details on using the watch windows.

  Hope this helps!

  I cant add nothing to watch window. It is blocked. May be because the breakpoints have an exclamation point while i am debugguing...

  I'm not following how this pertains to the problem at hand. However, where are the old projects from How did you open then

  There's probably a drop down that says debug or release. Otherwise, it's in the Build menu.

  But, even if you build a debug version, until your breakpoint hits, you won't be able to use the watch window.

  wow, i've tried to compile old projects and i've got this error: "MSVCRTD.lib(crtexew.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup"

  "the breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document." may this be the cause
  
  

• carroll.vance

  You also need to be building a debug version.

  The *only* way to watch a variable while your code is running is to write code to report it to you. Watch windows only work when you've hit a break point ( press F9 and the current line of code will have a breakpoint, and execution will stop when you get to that line, allowing you to use the watch window )
