    Debugging variables = nothing

    This is probably something small but when i am debugging my vb.net
    class library code im not able to see the values of any of the
    variables when i hover my mouse over them.

    This is my first attempt at class coding. What is the issue ???? is it
    something to do with my variable declaration e.g., Private, Dim,
    Public

    Any help appreciated as it is quite difficult to debug at the minute.

    Thanks in advance

    Regards

      Have you tried looking at the Locals window? Or right clicking on the
      variable and choose add watch? Not sure what you mean.

          Are you sure you run your applications in debug mode, which means that
          "Debug" is selected in the configuration combobox which is embedded into the
          IDE's toolbar? If yes, right-click a variable in debug mode and choose
          "Quick watch" from its context menu. Does the quick watch window show the
          variable's contents?

              Im still having no luck with this and i dont understand why. All my
              other projects that are linked in this solution can display the value
              of the variable when i hover over it but not this one. its obviously
              some debugging setting. The quick watch didnt show the value of the
              variable either but they do have values as the code runs correctly
              until i get an error.

              any more help appreciated.

                  You can delete your project's "bin" and "obj" folders and recompile the
                  project.

                          At least I have never experienced this problem. What you can do is trying
                          to build a short but complete program that causes this behavior.
