Expressions in the Debugger

The Visual Studio debugger includes expression evaluators that work when you enter an expression in the QuickWatch dialog box, Watch window, or Immediate window. The expression evaluators are also at work in the Breakpoints window and many other places in the debugger.

This section describes the syntax you can use when entering expressions in the debugger. It is divided into the following parts:

• Common Expression Evaluator Features

• Expressions in Native C++

• Managed Expressions in C++

• Expressions in C# and F#

• Expressions in Visual Basic

• Expressions in Script
