Variables View
Display information on local variables for the selected stack frame.
Menu
Window > Show View > Variables
Toolbar
The Variables view displays an expandable tree structure of local variables associated with the stack frame selected in the Debug view. Alternatively, you can display the value of a particular local variable by hovering over its instance in code. You can see details on a selected variable on the bottom of the Variables view.
Note
| If the debugger cannot display the value of a particular variable and sets it to N\A , refer to the corresponding case described in the Troubleshooting section. |
During a debug session, you can change values of variables to check how they are handled or to go through a loop faster. To do it, right-click a variable, select Change Value, and type in a new value.
To disable a variable and prevent the debugger from reading it, right-click a variable and select Disable. It might be useful if a target is very sensitive.
