Watch window 'Plus sign' problem

visual studio .net debugging: I have seen many reporting of this problem but I didn't find any
resolution. Can someone point me in the right direction.

When I stop on a break point and want to inspect a variable the drill
down feature on the variable is not working anymore.

The plus sign is there but when we click on it, it just disappear and
we can't see the content of the variable.

I have one environment working correctly and the other is not.

I've seen this problem before in VS.NET 2002. Make sure that the affected
project has an assemblyinfo.vb file. If it doesn't add one to it, this
resolved this issue for me in the past.

As far as I can tell, you need an assemblyinfo.vb file in _all_ the projects in the solution. I have a project which just holds data files and doesn't get compiled, but it's enough to cause this problem.

I have the same problem, and your response did not
help. This is really driving me mad...

Lawrence,

I'm now having the same issue. Just wondering if you have found a fix for this. If so, could you post it?

Thanks!

I had the same problem, and it was driving me nuts. I added an AssemblyInfo.vb (using Add New Item... | Code | Assembly Information File) to every project in my solution, then rebuilt the solution. It works! I can expand objects now to inspect all of their properties.
