Evaluating Expressions

An evaluation tells the value of the expression/variable at the current time. You can evaluate local or global variables within the scope of the method you are stopped in. You can also expand objects and arrays to show all embedded variables.

You can evaluate expressions in the source code that you are debugging, with any of the following methods:

Evaluation History

When you use either the Expression Evaluation window or the Evaluate button, the Debug tab shows the most recently evaluated expressions and their values. The most recently evaluated expression is at the bottom of the list. If the history list becomes too long, you can clear it out by selecting the expressions and pressing the Delete key.
