I generally code in C# and am doing some work for a customer in VB.Net.

In the debugger, in VB, when using quickwatch, I don't get the + sign on
objects to expand them and drill into their properties.

Is this available when debugging VB apps? Is there an environment setting
that needs to change in order for this to work like in C#?

There are three developers in my group and we all have the same result - no
+ expand in debugger for VB applicaitons using VS2003. Would like to know
how to resolve this.

John,

Are you sure you have an instanced object you try it with, it is for me the
same as with Mick.

Click to expand...

This is a setting in the IDE's "Options" dialog: "Tools" -> "Options..." ->
"Debugging" -> "General" -> [X] "Allow property evaluation in variables
window".
