Visual Studio 2005 tip: the Command Window
Posted: (EET/GMT+2)
Did you know that your Visual Studio 2005 (or VS.NET for that matter) has a "command prompt" where you can execute commands and see variables of your application that you are debugging? Enter the Command Window, available using View/Other Windows/Command Window, or by pressing Ctrl+W,A.
This nifty little window has many powerful features. For example, try typing these commands at the prompt:
? 4+4 ? Math.Sqrt(3*3+4*4) ? System.DateTime.Now nf MyStuff.cs
Also, what not that many developers seem to know is that you can get that ol' Immediate window back when you type "immed" and hit Enter in the Visual Studio 2005 Command window.
