[Void]

Is there a way to output the valiue of a variable to the debug window?

Say variable _Mon

In VS, you can just do ?_Mon in the immediate window, or add a watch.

I just created a program real quick that does what you ask:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;


namespace debugTest

{

    public partial class Form1 : Form

    {

        public Form1()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

        }


        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            String _Mon = "TEST";

            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(_Mon);

        }

    }

}

I'm not sure what you mean brackett - how do I add a watch in VS?

I assumed that Void was interested in knowing the value while debugging. In that case, in the VS debugger you can (a) use the immediate window and type "?variableName" which will print the value, (b) hover over the declaration and a tooltip will show you the value, or © add to the QuickWatch window by just typing the name in.

Of course, a Debug.WriteLine like you have will work as well.
