How can I see the values if I set a breakpoint in VS2012

Question

Hi..

I want to see the actual values of my Metro App.

I could set breakpoint while Debugging in Visual Studio 2012, but how could I see (all) actual values of my variables???

Thanks für help..

Answer 1

The debbuger allows you to see values by :

• hovering with the mouse over a variable
• adding a watch for a specific variable. I prefer this method, as all chosen variables appear in a list

Answer 2

Thanks.. the hovering I found out, too :)

But what did you mean with "adding a watch for a specific variable" ?

Answer 3

• In your code, set up a breakpoint (by clicking on the margin of the code Editor, at the line you want the breakpoint).
• Start your code. It will stop when reaching the breakpoint
• Select the name of a variable in your code
• Right-click the name of the variable
• Choose "Add watch"
• This will ad a line in the "Watch window", where you will see its value
