Can you use the watch window in Visual Studio 2010 while debugging remotely?


I'm attempting to remotely debug an application. I can connect to it without an issue but as I step through the code I can not see the values of the variables the way I do when debugging locally.

When I try to evaluate a variable in the watch window I get the message "internal error in the expression evaluator". Do I need to do anything different to resolve this?


Solution

  • It seems to be a bug that affects Visual Studio 2012 when you remote debug an application compiled for .NET 3.5 or previous versions.
