| |
| <p>During a debug session, you can display variable types, and change |
| or disable variable values.</p> |
| |
| <p>To display variable type names:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>In Variables view, click the <strong>Show Type Names</strong> toggle button.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>To change a variable value while debugging:</p> |
| |
| <p>During a debug, you can change the value of a variable to test how your |
| program handles a particular value or to speed through a loop.</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>In Variables view, right-click a variable, and select <strong>Change Value</strong>.</li> |
| <li>Type a value.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>To disable a variable value while debugging:</p> |
| |
| <p>You can disable a variable so that the debugger does not read the variable's |
| value from the target. This is useful if the target is very sensitive or the |
| variable is specified as volatile.</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>In Variables view, right-click a variable, and select <strong>Disable</strong>.</li> |
| </ul> |
