Fig. D.8 Autos and Locals windows.
The Immediate window provides a convenient way to execute statements (Fig. D.9).
To execute a statement, type it into the window and press Enter. Procedure calls can be executed
as well. For example, typing Console.WriteLine(i) then pressing Enter outputs
the value of i in the console window. Notice that the = symbol can be used to perform
assignments in the Immediate window. Notice that the values for i and x in the Locals
window contain these updated values.
Testing and Debugging Tip D.5
Use the Immediate window to call a procedure exactly once. Placing a procedure call inside
the Watch window calls it every time the program breaks. 24.0
D.4 Program Control
The Debug toolbar (Fig. D.10) contains buttons for controlling the debugging process.
These buttons provide convenient access to actions in the Debug menu. To display the Debug
toolbar, select View > Toolbars > Debug.
