What happened to the Immediate Window?

[Guggly]

Hi! I'm hoping this is some dumb newbie question, but I can't seem to find the old VB equivalent of the Immediate Window in VB .Net.

I am aware that the "Command Window - Immediate" can be used for variable watching and the likes, while code is running, but it seems to be missing a bunch of the capabilities that the good old one had.

I used to use the immediate window for all sorts of things while coding, not just variable watching, but now almost nothing will get accepted as a valid statement, and even less (if anything) in Design mode.

Is this feature no longer supported in .Net? If so, will it be coming back with Whidbey?

Thanks! -- Mike

Yeah, I know about that, but it doesn't seem to be able to do half of what it could in VB6.
You can't even calculate an equation in Design Mode (?334*433) or run MsgBox in Run Mode. Is this not possible with .Net?

You can also use ctrl-G to access the immediate window. For debugging, there are many tools you could use to watch variables and program execution.

Happy Programming.
