visual studio .net ide: When I am using Visual Studio.net in the debug mode for a Visual basic.net
appliocation, I want to be able to increase the size of values that can be
displayed. For example when using the "watch" or other debug windows, I know
I want to see a field that is 8k. However, the size of the display is
truncated somehow. I want to be able to see the entire field so that I can
copy and paste the results to notepad. What would I need to do increase the
size of the debug windows?

Are you talking about a string?
I had some problems with multiline strings too because if I click in the
value column I can only see one line.
But if found the following workaround that works well for me: I select the
whole row and then copy and paste it in notepad and I can see all of my
code file (I just tried with a 30K text file): you will only have to ignore
the name of the variable and the Type that are copied as well.
You can also try to output the value in the Immediate window.
FYI: In the new version of VisualStudio, Whidbey, there is a very useful
Text Visualizer that you can invoke from the debugger windows and that will
solve this issue

Hope this helps,
