    <p>Is it possible to iterate collection and list only filtered object information while debugging in Visual Studio? I'd use Immediate window for that, but although it allows to execute methods on objects, it seems not to allow execute custom loop statements.</p> <p>Simplest example in ASP.NET:</p> <pre><code>this.Page.Validate(); if (!this.Page.IsValid()) { // breakpoint here } </code></pre> <p>How can we iterate <code>Page.Validators</code> collection and find those which are invalid + output their information at that breakpoint? (this is not the main question, it's just a sample)</p> <p>If it's not possible to do it straight forward, do you have any workarounds for this? Workarounds which would not involve code modification, just writing code in Immediate window or some Watch expression.</p> <p>While googling I've found just one workaround quoted <a href="http://visualstudiohacks.com/articles/ask-the-pros/ask-the-pros-debugging/" rel="noreferrer">here</a> (although could not find the original):</p> <blockquote> <p>"Add a debug method to your code that does something like iterate through all the objects in a collection. Then you can call that method from the immediate window while in debug mode and it will enumerate various things for you. Think of it like a command-line-debugger-helper. You can write as many of those as you like."</p> </blockquote> <p>But it's still a workaround. I image it should be doable without too much hacking and more importantly without modifying code. Of course it should be possible to do some kind of collection transformations in one statement.</p> <p>And let's stick to non-generic collections. Also Immediate window seems not to accept lambda expressions (got an error when tried: "Expression cannot contain lambda expressions")</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
