Good job! :-)

As I said in my blog yesterday (http://blog.developpez.com/index.php?blog=121&title=extension_methods_et_intellisence_1&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1), in Watch, Execute Window or breakpoint condition, extension methods are not proposed by intellisence :-(

Perhaps in Orcas Beta 2 ;-)

Infinite sequences

Does the debugger take into account that not all enumerators have a set number or results, or that the results might be quite large? You might have an enumerable that returns an unending sequence of something. The debugger should be able to handle the "accidental" selection of the results view w/o freezing the IDE.

Thanks Matthieu and yes there will be intellisence in the watch and the immediate window for extension methods and in fact i will update the article to mention/show it.

I understand Onovotny, an Enumeration can certainly be infinite and there is no clear way of identifying this. An Infinite Enumeration will behave just like a function that times out when entered in the watch. In fact i will be metioning this in my next article on steeping. The other case to think of is when the enumeration yields zero results, we give an error message for that ,again i will update the article to mention this.

thanks guys and keep it comming

Sree,

Maybe it's too late, but I hope not -- how about an attribute that can go on enumerators (and enumerable methods -- yield return) that's a debugger hint not to eval. Something Like DebuggerNoEnumerateAttribute.

Ok let me be clear, there is an explicit user interaction required for the Enumeration to be enumerated. There is nothing automatic ... is there some specific reason that this is of consern for you. We can certainly add an attribute if enough user find this intresting. And on stepping the results view alsomatically disabled and is not enabled untell the user explicitly wished to refresh.
