Question

I’m having trouble seeing my full string variables in debug mode on a Monodroid project.

This happens when I hover over the string variable, also when in the immediate window when I ask for it’s value. Only the first 100 characters are displayed followed by a … (three ellipses)

Below is an image demonstrating the problem. This doesn’t happen in a “normal” .net project, only one’s targeting monodroid profile. I could live with the hover not working but the fact that the immediate window is failing me is extremely frustrating. Any workarounds?

I am using Visual Studio 2010, Mono-For-Android v4.0.3.

EDIT: I’ve figured out a workaround but would appreciate something more elegant than
typing ?myString.Substring(x) into the immediate window.

Answer 1

This was a change made to the debugging library that I was unaware of. I have turned it off for the 4.2 release.
