Hi, according to this page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164906.aspx even in the Express version it should be possible to watch managed expressions when debugging a managed application that has been compiled with full debug information. Is this really true? I wasn't successful. Symbol information could be loaded successfully according to the modules window. I can set break points, single step through the code. However, the locals window is always empty (yes, in break mode). I can't add expressions to the watch window or print values in the immediate window because I always get the message "expression can not be evaluated", be it only an existing variable name. Is there anything else I have to do to make it possible? Or does it just not work in the Express version? Armin |

It seems I have to live with it. I thought it also works in the Express version. Obviously not. Armin |
