Debugging variables = nothing

[Colin Graham]

This is probably something small but when i am debugging my vb.net
class library code im not able to see the values of any of the
variables when i hover my mouse over them.

This is my first attempt at class coding. What is the issue ???? is it
something to do with my variable declaration e.g., Private, Dim,
Public

Any help appreciated as it is quite difficult to debug at the minute.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Have you tried looking at the Locals window? Or right clicking on the
variable and choose add watch? Not sure what you mean.

Are you sure you run your applications in debug mode, which means that
"Debug" is selected in the configuration combobox which is embedded into the
IDE's toolbar? If yes, right-click a variable in debug mode and choose
"Quick watch" from its context menu. Does the quick watch window show the
variable's contents?

Im still having no luck with this and i dont understand why. All my
other projects that are linked in this solution can display the value
of the variable when i hover over it but not this one. its obviously
some debugging setting. The quick watch didnt show the value of the
variable either but they do have values as the code runs correctly
until i get an error.

any more help appreciated.

You can delete your project's "bin" and "obj" folders and recompile the
project.

At least I have never experienced this problem. What you can do is trying
to build a short but complete program that causes this behavior.
