🖥️ Debug Like a Pro

Need to test a method while debugging? Immediate Window executes code on the fly. Test expressions, call methods, inspect variables.

🔧 Using Immediate Window

Debug → Windows → Immediate (Ctrl + Alt + I)

While debugging (breakpoint hit):
- ? variableName → Show variable value
- ? myMethod() → Call method and show result
- variableName = "New Value" → Change variable value
- ? 5 + 3 → Evaluate expression
- ? new List() { 1, 2, 3 }.Count → Test code

Examples:
? user.Name  // Shows user's name
? user.Age + 10  // Evaluate expression
? GetUserCount()  // Call method and show result
user.Name = "Alice"  // Change value during debug
? $"Hello {user.Name}"  // String interpolation

✅ Pro Tips

• Use ? to print value (alias for Print)
• Call static methods without instance
• Test code snippets before writing them
• Modify variables to test different scenarios
