5.8. Watching Expressions and Variables
Problem
You need to watch the value o f a variable or expression as your code executes.
Solution
Highlight the variable or expression while debugging, right-click it, and select Watch, or select Run→ Watch. The variable or expression, along with its value, will appear in the Expressions view from then on.
Discussion
You can see an example in Figure 5-15, where we
added the value of the variable named loopIndex
to
the Expressions view. As you execute your code in the debugger, the
current value of loopIndex
always appears in the
Expressions view, unless you right-click it in the Expressions view
and select Remove.
