Question

Again, learner here.

Generally I like to be able to look at the whole state of the application to understand what information I have available to me in the current scope.

Something I do a lot is open up QuickWatch and evaluate this which gives me everything inside the current class.

I was wondering if there are any other keywords I can use to get a similar sort of thing which would allow me to interrogate other parts of the application’s state. Like, is there any way to see the values inside another class? Is there such a thing as a “global” scope?

Hope you can help and hope I haven’t been too vague as I’m still learning the correct terminology to be using in a C# environment.

Thanks in advance for your help 🙂

Cheers

Answer 1

Why not just use the Autos windows? It does a pretty good job of selecting the most appropriate variable values in any given context.

Another useful windows is the Locals window which gives you more than creating a QuickWatch on this (bug it includes this).
