How do I find and delete datatips throughout my solution in Visual Studio 2010?

I noticed that lots of expression evaluation popups datatips severely slow down going in and out of debugging, so I'd like to delete most of them (for that I need to find them first, is there a button for that?) or if it's not an option, delete all of them at once.

Solution

  • If you're asking about the immediate window, you have to right click in it and click Clear.

    These are called "DataTips" and you can find options to manipulate them in the Debug menu.

    Go to Menu > Debug and there you will find Clear All DataTips, Export DataTips, Import DataTips etc... When you're actively debugging you can find an extra option to clear DataTips per file.

    Hope this helps!
