Jeff King made a recent post to show off the new JScript IntelliSense<\/A> feature in the March CTP<\/A> of Visual Studio. Now I am going to show off the improved JScript Debugging experience in the March CTP.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

The first thing you will notice is that when you try to debug an IE page, VS will give you a nice little dialog reminding you to turn on script debugging in IE:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/P>\n

 <\/P>\n

Here is the Advance tab in IE:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> <\/P>\n

After you’ve turned on script debugging in IE, you can set a breakpoint in your ASPX document right away!<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

You might notice a little diamond inside the breakpoint glyph and wonder what that means. The little diamond indicates this is a mapped breakpoint. This breakpoint will get mapped automatically to the run-time document when you debug the page (F5).<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> <\/P>\n

Debug the page (F5) and VS will pause at the breakpoint:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> <\/P>\n

If you look closely, the execution actually paused in the run-time document instead of the design-time document:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

You can set breakpoints in the run-time document and they will get saved back to the design-time document. No Problem!<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> <\/P>\n

You can switch between your design-time and run-time documents easily in the Solution Explorer:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> <\/P>\n

You can examine an object’s data when the execution is paused. The type information is much richer than in Visual Web Developer 2005<\/A>:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

Visual Web Developer 2005<\/STRONG> <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

Visual Web Developer Orcas<\/STRONG><\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> <\/P>\n

Not only can you see the real types of the objects but also the methods:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> <\/P>\n

Plus you can navigate the DOM more easily:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> <\/P>\n

Still feel like something is still missing? How about visualizers for reading long text:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> <\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> <\/P>\n

Enjoy!<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>\n
