Debugging and Guids

[Guest]

VB2005
in an app i have a variable defined as a Guid.
This variable is populated from a sql server database.
If i look at it using myGuid.ToString i see the expected value of the guid,
however if i look at it using quickwatch or by hovering over it it shows as
'empty'

any idea why?

Hello Guy,

Could you show the short but complete code demonstrating this issue?

hi Michael,
fut this in a winforms form load:-

Dim g As System.Guid
g = Guid.NewGuid
Dim s As String = g.ToString

hover over g and is shows as empty as does a quickwatch on it, but s
displays the value

cheers

Hello Guy,

Hmmm, strange. The code is ok
Do you have this behavior with any project or only with this specific one?

Did you install some 3rd party tools/addon?

Hi Michael,
this example is somethin i just knocked up, orignally it occurred on an
ASP.NET 2 application where the GUID was read from a sql server database.
both on my box though. i have no addins loaded up, just VS2005 professional,
also SQL Server 2005 and the normal office apps etc.

are you seeing this too?

cheers
