Debugging problem - watches dont work

[owen]

I'm writing an ASP.NET application and all of a sudden my watches don't
work. The "+" sign appears next to them but you cannot drill into them.
(The "+" dissappears when you click it and the item does not expand).

Is it possible that a change to web.config would cause this? Or is this a
known bug? I cannot find any reference to it anywhere on the web.

I am able to create a new, dummy project (either windows forms or web pages)
and the watches work fine. It's something in my current project but I
cannot imagine what it could be.

Any suggestions gratefully received !

Hi!

it's a known bug!!!

my personal workaround:

1. restart visual studio
2. remove all files from this folder: C:\Documents and
Settings\user\VSWebCache\
3. restart your 'Word Wide Web Publishing Service'

Thanks Gicio, I tried all that but unfortunately it made no difference.
Still got the same problem.

Very intersting though, I didnt know about the VSWebCache folder until now.
I'm keeping an eye on what VS puts in there when I run the project.

Any other ideas?

other idea:

repeat step 1-3 + remove your bin folder (in your project) and rebuild your
solution / project.

Tried that, it made no difference (

But the good news is that my collegue has now solved the problem by amending
the AssemblyInfo.vb files in each of the projects. )

Thanks for your fast replies!

Heya Owen,
When do you try and use the watch?
The watches in .NET are available on in break - mode -
You must put a break point to see the parameter's value in the watch

Hi Joey.... I use the watch in debug/break mode. The watch was not working.
The "+" sign appeared but I could not drill into the watch. Not only this
but the value displayed in the watch was incorrect.
