I use this all the time.
Generally, I am only interested in a few variable values and it is a pain to
have to open the variables pane full screen and then navigate around to see
what each of the variable values are (especially if they are in multiple
instances).
So, what I do is right click on the variable I want to watch (inside my code)
and select Watch("Variable Name"). This adds it to the watch expression pane
and when I hit a breakpoint, the values I want to look at are right there. I
can then resume or step through and watch them change.
One other thing that is useful is the path to a nested variable. For example, I
clicked on an item in the variables pane and added it as a watch expression. I
then right clicked on the expression and selected "Edit Watch Expression". I
can now copy and paste that into my code and know that it will work.
Anyway, how did you get the variable into the Expressions panel? Also, what
type of variable is it? There has to be a reason you get a "Can't Evaluate"
message.
