Anyone help?

I am debugging a small javascript function in an ASP.NET 2 app. When I stop at a breakpoint to check the values of the document.form1.elements, I enter a print command as follows: ?document.form1.elements This works fine, prints out 100 lines and then
prints the following message:
"The first 100 of 165 items were diplayed.
< More... "

My question is how do I get it to print the last 65 items? I Have searched the msdn site but don't find anything.

Thanks,

Victor Victor

Help anyone?

I posted this quite a while ago and no one has answered! I cannot be that this problem is so tough that there is not an answer. I've tried everything I can think of. Hitting Enter key, Esc key, entering 'More', entering 'More...". I cannot find anything in the ASP.NET 2. documentation on the Immediate window print command. I emailed Microsoft but someone answered that did not understand the problem. Then I heard nothing from them.

It seems so simple. Anyone........ . . . . . . . . .

Do you mean to say this is the out put in your Locals window in Visual Studio?

DParsons:
Thanks for responding. Glad to see someone has taken more than a glance at this.

I am really complaining about the immediate window. (I am deep into debugging an asp.net 2 app.). The problem is simple.

To see what I am talking about simply put an html button (not asp.button) on a web page and code a javascript function, any javascript, to handle the click event. Put a breakpoint on the click handling function's first line. Then bring up your immediate window. Key in ?document.

You will see that the immediate window will only list 100 descriptive lines on the document and will tell you that there are more lines but that it only has printed the first 100. My question is: How does one see the remaining lines that it did not print.

Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

Hi again Victor,
    I hate to be the bearer of bad news on this but, it seems that the Command Window is only designed to display that much data when a query such as that is passed to it. This statement is all but upheld in this transcript on the MSDN:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/chats/tran...ug_050224.aspx

Do a simple find for 'Command' and you will notice one of the participants in the chat poses the same question that you are asking here the MS rep then tells the person that its best for them to use the Watch window in a secnario such as his. (He/She is trying to examine an array)

The MS rep further on down Stands her ground for the person to use the Watch window and provides a teak for Evaluation of functions/methods it isn't till the vary end where the person points out that it is a ton easier to paste out the contents from the command window into a different format the rep finally conceeds and says that they will take that feedback into consideration as they continue to tweak their debugging windows.

Quote: A: OKay, I see your point. We will incorporate that feedback as we continue to tweak our debugging windows design, going forward.

Simply put, I do not think it is possible to display more then 100 lines at one time in the command window, albeit this post is a bit dated, I reproduced your error in VWD (I would of used VS2005 but am not at work so that will have to do).

hth.

DParsons:

Thanks a lot. I'll remember the link to transcripts in msdn...
Obviously you did a lot of searching, reading, etc. on this and I want you to know that I appreciate it.

So, I can lay this question to rest, knowing that there is not something I can do to continue viewing an object's complete set of properties in the immediate window.

I wonder how difficult it would be to change (say, in a VS 2005 patch), the current limit of 100 lines to 200 lines in the immediate window. I have encountered many objects whose complete property list exceed 100 lines but have not encountered any whose number exceeds 200.

If I had input into a future VS Team chat on debugging, I would make the point that the increasing complexity of objects will only increase the need to see everything contained within, or at least more of everything, in an object. Perhaps we are now at that point
-- some two years after the discussion you referenced.

Thanks.

Well, I stand by the fact that there is the "Right" way to do things and the "Microsoft" way of doing things. O.o As that transcript pointed out, Microsoft took the position that if you need to look at that much information that the programmer should utilize the Watch window. While the programmer should use all of the resources available to them to properly debug an application, I 100% agree with you that that window should display all of the relevant information to the object.

In any case, yes I researched this particular problem for about half an hour before I went to bed lastnight and I am glad you found the information useful^^
