command/immediate window

[louie728]

Hello,

I would like to be able to use the command/immediate window to try code before I use. I am used to FoxPro's command window, where I can test something before I write the code to avoid errors. I assume that the command/immediate window will let me do this, but I haven' been able to. I get errors like The expression cannot be evaluated while in design mode. Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible to do this? I am testing with controls, but alot more time consuming. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA,

Im also from a Fox background, but the command window isnt for the same purpose in VB. All I seem to be able to use it for is interrogation of objects at selected breakpoints.

I also miss the good old command window functionality.

VB6 let you do this, but I have not found a way to make it work in .NET.


I think it's because VB is now compiled.

Thanks for replying everyone....

I can't believe that .net doesn't have some sort of way of doing that and VB6 does, That is why I assumed that it could be done. Bigfoot your probably right about the compiled vs Interpreted (I didn't even think about that)....

The command window in Foxpro is a very useful tool. I hate having to walk a mile to test things out :-( ....
