Is there a way to see the value of a variable as the program is running?

I'd like to see what value a variable is holding AS the program is running.

I remember Scott Hanselman blogging about something like a Variable Viewbox, but I can't seem to find the post.

I'd like to view the variable AS the program is running it's loop. Inside of Vis开发者_Go百科ual Studio.

Often when there is much data and the logic is difficult to trace..eg . Due to large loops and many variables, then I dump state to comma separated files.. and then inspect them in Excel.

You can specify a tracepoint, which is like a breakpoint but outputs a message instead of stopping the debugger.

You can use DebugView from here : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647

just add to your code

System.Diagnostic.Trace.Write(myVar) ;

and see its value in debugView window in real time .
