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

Viewed 36886

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:

 < More... (The first 100 of 306 items were displayed.) >

I am trying to see the rest of the items, but can't figure it out.

I realize that I could see these in a Watch window, but that's not the same.

The immediate window was designed to be a quick view tool. If you want to see more detail, you will have to view it in either the Watch Window or the Quick Watch Window.

Another option is to write a Visual Studio AddIn that operates similarly to the Immediate Window, but has more options.

Its an old question but to get the properties and values of an object during runtime a more reasonable solution with Quickwatch window is here:

  1. Open Quickwatch during Debug mode

  1. Type in your Variablename and press Enter

  1. Press CTRL + A and CTRL + C in order to select and copy all Properties. You need to expand those which contains values and are non primitive types.

  2. Paste to your favorite editor.
