Question

Does VS 2008 provides a function that allows us to evaluate a method? I can view the property of an object via Watch window, but I also want to substitute parameters into a method and see the result.

Not sure whether VS 2008 supports this or not.

Answer 1

You can evaluate methods pretty much anywhere – in the watch pane, QuickWatch window, and Immediate pane.

static string Foo(string x)
{
    return String.Format("Hello {0}.", x);
}

From the immediate window:

Foo("me");
"Hello me."
