In VS2013 we could view the return value of a method by examining a Watch window entry called $ReturnValue. This doesn't seem to work in VS2015.
e.g. I made a new console app, containing the following code:
using System;
namespace ReturnInspector
{
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Number: {0}", Method1());
}
public static int Method1()
{
return Method2(1000); //A
} //B
private static int Method2(int i)
{
return i + 42;
}
}
}
If I put a breakpoint on line //A, then once it breaks, F10 to step to line //B, the $ReturnValue item in the Watch window shows "1042" in VS2013, but in VS2015 it shows this:
error CS0103: The name '$ReturnValue' does not exist in the current context
Note that the Autos and Locals windows correctly say this:
ReturnInspector.Program.Method2 returned 1042
Does anyone know whether $ReturnValue in the Watch window feature was dropped in VS2015?
