VS.NET Debugging: Variable watch
I know in VisualAge for Java I used to be able to put a breakpoint on a variable...not at a particular point in the code, but in a debugging window, and the code would break as soon as that variable was changed, or became a certain value.. (useful for loops if you want to break a loop when it hits 100 iterations etc, or a boolean field validating to true).
yes.. I know I could just put a breakpoint on this line: If var = true then var = true or something like that..but you won't get any points for an answer like that.
Does anyone know? Even a work-around would be somewhat satisfactory.. (Ie i tried declaring the bool value 'WithEvents' but it wouldn't let me).
Thanks!

actually i've tested it right know and it works fine with c# :)
the only special think is that when you set a break point in a function you can set it on the first function's line

well I am in a VB environment, and i entered in C# (just to see if i'd get the error too.. cuz i'm always looking for a reason to change to C#).
Alright.. you got it to work on a function..thats great. and easy.
try this:
declare a boolean value.
modify it in a few different places in your code...
set up a breakpoint not on a particular line of code, or at the entry point of a particular method, but when the boolean variable changes its vlaue.

I remember trying this method before and it says that VB, or C# don't support variable breakpoints.
Does anyone have a work around or know how to declare a variable with events?
