Hex Display of Integers While Debugging


Hex Display of Integers While Debugging Craig

visual studio .net debugging:
I am debugging a VB.NET 2005 project. I've set a breakpoint where I want to
examine a few variable values. The integer variable values are showing up as
hex display instead of decimal. I cannot figure out how to turn this off.

As I was unable to find the setting through the VS.NET IDE, I searched
around for a likely setting elsewhere. In my CurrentSettings.vssettings file,
I found a HexDisplay property setting that was set to "1" (true?). I changed
it to "0" (false?), thinking that might do it. Nope. What's the real way to
change the display back to decimal?

Actually, the HexDisplay property in CurrentSettings.vssettings does seem to
have corrected my problem as I'm now seeing decimal values while debugging.
The HexDisplay was the only thing I changed. I'm still curious where that
value can be set through the IDE...instead of through Notepad. ;-)

This setting should be available in the context menu if you r-click
on Watch window (or other similar window).
