Yes.  The view name is &quot;Display&quot;.

Window-&gt;Show View-&gt;Other
It is under the Debug folder.

Once in there you evaluate statements while in the debugger.

Eclipse has a really cool concept call [Scrapbook Pages][1] where you can evaluate statements even when you&#39;re not debugging.  However, if you want to eval code using values from the current program, go to Window-&gt;Show View-&gt;Expressions.  There you can put in any expression you want and track it as your program executes.

Python and Ruby are usually considered to be close cousins (though with quite different historical baggage) with similar expressiveness and power. But some have argued that the immense success of the Rails framework really has a great deal to do with the language it is built on: Ruby itself. So why would Ruby be more suitable for such a framework than Python?

Does Eclipse have an analog to Visual Studio&#39;s &quot;Immediate Window&quot;, a window where I can evaluate statements while in the debugger? 

Immediate Window for Eclipse

<p>Does Eclipse have an analog to Visual Studio's "Immediate Window", a window where I can evaluate statements while in the debugger?</p>


I have two solutions which have some common code, so I&#39;d like to extract it out and share it between them. Furthermore, I&#39;d like to be able to release that library independently because it might be useful to others. 

* What&#39;s the best way to do it with Visual Studio 2008? 
* Is a project present in more than one solution? 
* Do I have a separate solution for the separate piece of code? 
* Can a solution depend on another one?

How do you share code between projects/solutions in Visual Studio?

I have two solutions in my workspace, say A and B.

Solution A is an older project which I finished coding some time ago.
In solution B, I need to use some classes from Solution A. To do so, I add a reference to the dll of one of the projects in solution A.

The problem is when I try to debug. I want to be able to step into A&#39;s code as well. Visual studio is not able to load the code for these classes (&quot;There is no source code available for the current location.&quot;) and I can only view the disassembly, which is not useful.

The only way I know to debug classes from solution A is by running solution B, detach all processes (in the Debug menu item) and attach the process from solution A.

However, this is very inconvenient and I can only debug A OR B at once.

Is there a way to allow stepping into the code of referenced dlls (for which I do have the source code)?


----------
**Solution:** My mistake was that I thought that a project can only be part of a single solution. In fact, a project can be part of any number of solutions.&lt;br/&gt;
When you need to reference the old project, you should simply add the project to the solution. This is done by right clicking the new solution in the Solution Explorer &gt; Add &gt; Existing Project.&lt;br/&gt;
Then, you&#39;ll be able to add the project reference. As others wrote, you should probably completely avoid using dll references to your own code (or other code you might need to change and debug).

A very good reference to how solutions should be designed can be found in [MSDN][1].

How to debug a referenced dll (having pdb)

I have four projects in my Visual Studio solution (everyone targeting .NET 3.5) - for my problem only these two are important:

 1. **MyBaseProject** &lt;- this class library references a third-party DLL file (elmah.dll)
 2. **MyWebProject1** &lt;- this web application project has a reference to MyBaseProject

I added the elmah.dll reference to **MyBaseProject** in Visual studio 2008 by clicking &quot;Add reference...&quot; → &quot;Browse&quot; tab → selecting the &quot;elmah.dll&quot;.

The Properties of the Elmah Reference are as follows:

 - Aliases - global
 - **Copy local - true**
 - Culture -
 - Description - Error Logging Modules and Handlers (ELMAH) for ASP.NET
 - File Type - Assembly
 - Path - D:\webs\\otherfolder\\_myPath\\__tools\elmah\Elmah.dll
 - Resolved - True
 - Runtime version - v2.0.50727
 - Specified version - false
 - Strong Name - false
 - Version - 1.0.11211.0

In **MyWebProject1** I added the reference to Project MyBaseProject by:
&quot;Add reference...&quot; → &quot;Projects&quot; tab → selecting the &quot;MyBaseProject&quot;. The Properties of this reference are the same except the following members:

 - Description -
 - Path - D:\webs\CMS\MyBaseProject\bin\Debug\MyBaseProject.dll
 - Version - 1.0.0.0

If I run the build in **Visual Studio** the elmah.dll file is copied to my **MyWebProject1&#39;s bin** directory, along with MyBaseProject.dll!

However if I clean and run **MSBuild** for the solution (via D:\webs\CMS&gt; C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe /t:ReBuild /p:Configuration=Debug MyProject.sln)
the **elmah.dll is missing** in MyWebProject1&#39;s bin directory - although the build itself contains no warning or errors!

I already made sure that the .csproj of MyBaseProject contains the **private** element with the value &quot;true&quot; (that should be an alias for &quot;**copy local**&quot; in Visual Studio):

    &lt;Reference Include=&quot;Elmah, Version=1.0.11211.0, Culture=neutral, processorArchitecture=MSIL&quot;&gt;
      &lt;SpecificVersion&gt;False&lt;/SpecificVersion&gt;
      &lt;HintPath&gt;..\mypath\__tools\elmah\Elmah.dll&lt;/HintPath&gt;
        **&lt;Private&gt;true&lt;/Private&gt;**
    &lt;/Reference&gt;

(The private tag didn&#39;t appear in the .csproj&#39;s xml by default, although Visual Studio said &quot;copy local&quot; true. I switched &quot;copy local&quot; to false - saved - and set it back to true again - save!)

**What is wrong with MSBuild? How do I get the (elmah.dll) reference copied to MyWebProject1&#39;s bin?**

I do NOT want to add a postbuild copy action to every project&#39;s postbuild command! (Imagine I would have many projects depend on MyBaseProject!)

**Problem:** I have a large Visual C++ project that I&#39;m trying to migrate to Visual Studio 2010.  It&#39;s a huge mix of stuff from various sources and of various ages.  I&#39;m getting problems because something is including both `winsock.h` and `winsock2.h`.

**Question:** What tools and techniques are there for displaying the `#include` hierarchy for a Visual Studio C++ source file?

I know about **`cl /P`** for getting the preprocessor output, but that doesn&#39;t clearly show which file includes which other files (and in this case the **`/P`** output is 376,932 lines long 8-)

In a perfect world I&#39;d like a hierarchical display of which files include which other files, along with line numbers so I can jump into the sources:

    source.cpp(1)
      windows.h(100)
        winsock.h
      some_other_thing.h(1234)
        winsock2.h


Displaying the #include hierarchy for a C++ file in Visual Studio

Visual Studio will automatically create using statements for you whenever you create a new page or project. Some of these you will never use.

Visual Studio has the useful feature to &quot;remove unused usings&quot;.

I wonder if there is any negative effect on program performance if the using statements which are never accessed, remain mentioned at the top of the file.

How is performance affected by an unused using directive?

Just going through the sample Scala code on Scala website, but encountered an annoying error when trying to run it.

Here&#39;s the code: http://www.scala-lang.org/node/45. On running it on Eclipse, I got this message &#39;Editor does not contain a main type&#39; that prevents it from running.

Is there anything I need to do...i.e break that file into multiple files, or what?

Editor does not contain a main type

I&#39;m using a parser generator that creates somewhat ugly code. As a result my Eclipse project has several dozen warnings emanating from generated source files. I know I can use the `@SuppressWarning` annotation to suppress particular warnings in particular elements, but any annotations I add by hand will be lost when the parser generator runs again. Is there a way to configure Eclipse to suppress warnings for a particular file or directory?

How to suppress Java warnings for specific directories or files such as generated code

One of the most frequent thing I do with Eclipse is to re-run the last program. I do it by going to *Run -&gt; Run History -&gt; [top most item]*.

Is there a shortcut key that does this?

I know of &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;F11&lt;/kbd&gt; but this does not work for me. It will launch the most recent program only if the currently active class (the class whose source code I am editing) does not have a main method. If it does it will use this class as the entry point for the program and not the one from the Run History list.

I cannot for the life of me attach the java source code to eclipse so I can see the inner workings of the language. Not even something as simple as the String Class.

when I run java -version this is what I have:

    java version &quot;1.6.0_14&quot;
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)

I am downloading the java souce from:
http://download.java.net/jdk6/source/

And in eclipse when I attach it It says:

    The JAR file &quot;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\jdk-6u14-fcs-src-b08-jrl-21_may_2009.jar&quot; 
    has no source attachment.

What am I doing wrong?

I&#39;m adding an eclipse project to our existing code-base, and I&#39;d like to know if there is a way to exclude some directories from being picked up by eclipse at all?  The reason is that we have a huge &quot;third-party&quot; directory in our repository that cannot be present in the project for the [pair-programming][1] plugin we are using to be able to sync efficiently.

Any clues?

How can I exclude some folders from my Eclipse project?

I am trying to see the properties of an object with over 300 properties in the Immediate Window of Visual Studio 2005. Only the first 100 items are displayed, followed by this caption:

     &lt; More... (The first 100 of 306 items were displayed.) &gt;

I am trying to see the rest of the items, but can&#39;t figure it out. 

I realize that I could see these in a Watch window, but that&#39;s not the same.

Visual Studio Immediate window: how to see more than the first 100 items

Using Visual Studio 2010 Professional, I have a `ToString()` method that looks like this:

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return &quot;something&quot; + &quot;\n&quot; + &quot;something&quot;;
    }

Because there are several &quot;`something`&quot;&#39;s and each is long, I&#39;d like to see

    something
    something

Sadly, I&#39;m seeing

    &quot;something\nsomething&quot;

Is there a way to get what I want? 

Newlines in the Immediate Window

I&#39;m debugging some tricky generic List-based code in VS 2010 - lots of hierarchy-processing etc.. Of course lambda expressions and anonymous methods aren&#39;t permitted within the immediates window and I can&#39;t be doing with stepping thru the code in the usual way as I&#39;m still trying to get my head around the hierarchies ...

Can anyone suggest a workaround or an alternative tool?

Does anyone know how to clear the immediate window using VBA?

While I can always clear it myself manually, I am curious if there is a way to do this programmatically.

If I use `dynamic` in the immediate window of Visual Studio I get an error
