Can I view a dataset's contents from the debugger?

[MattB]

It looks like I can't (VS.Net 2003) but I want to be sure I'm not
overlooking something. Anybody got a good trick to do this? I'm getting
some things going on in a dataset and having a hard time figuring out
when this happens. Being able to watch a dataset would be a big help.
Thanks!

Use your Locals

this

then you can look around there.

Or use the command window during debug. Add a breakpoint once the
dataset has data, then play around with ? commands ( intellisense in a
great help here to see what you can look at )

eg
?ds.Tables(0).Rows(0) ' row 1 of table 1 in a dataset called ds
?ds.tables(0).Row(0)("columnname") ' contents of table 1's first row in
column "columnname"

Sure you can, why not? A dataset consists of tables. In the debugger
navigate to the required table, then to its rows etc. What is your specific
problem?
