Chapter 24 Tryit objects not showing up

Mark P. · June 23rd, 2011, 04:39 PM

When I run Debug on the Chapter 24 Tryit, I don't see any of the objects, here are the last couple lines of the Output.

The thread 'vshost.LoadReference' (0xcf0) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
'Parameter.vshost.exe' (Managed (v4.0.30319)): Loaded 'C:\Documents and Settings\Orchard\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Parameter\Parameter\bin\Debug\Parame ter.exe', Symbols loaded.
The thread '<No Name>' (0x190) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The program '[2024] Parameter.vshost.exe: Managed (v4.0.30319)' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

I compared the code to the downloaded copy of
Form1.cs, and it looks fine. Any ideas?

Do you mean you don't see any of the constructors' messages in the output window? Be sure you're looking at the Output window and not some other window.

A lot of the interesting code for this Try It is in the classes not the main form. You might look there to make sure it looks okay, but the main form should display some text, too, so if you're not seeing anything, I'm not sure what's wrong.

If that doesn't help, you can zip up the project and send it to me at RodStephens@CSharpHelper.com and I'll take a look.

I should be seeing the Console.WriteLine information. The window says Show output from Debug, which I assume is the correct display.

You should see it in a window named "Output." Usually it's one of the tabs at the bottom of the IDE.

You can find it by opening the Debug menu, selecting the Windows submenu, and picking Output.

I think the text you're looking for should be in the same window as the "exited code (0)" message you saw. It would be higher up so perhaps it scrolled off the top?

I'm not sure why else you wouldn't see the messages. Why don't you send me the project and I'll take a look.

While zipping it up, I discovered that the classes are not showing up in the Project folder. When I open the project in VS 2010 they show up in the GUI, but are not there is I try and access them through File, Open File. wierd.

That is weird.

You should be able to see them in the Solution Explorer. If you click on one there, the Properties window should show you where the file actually is. It doesn't necessarily need to be in the project directory, although that's customary because it's less confusing.

Wherever the files are, you should be able to double-click them in the Solution Explorer to edit them. Perhaps you were editing the wrong versions of the class files?
