My Intellij Debugger window went missing and I can't find any resources on how to get it back, the closest think I can get to my problem is a missing console window but that doesn't help. So I'm hoping someone here can help me retrieve it.
This pic shows a normal Intellij IDE (that I got from my friend) that shows the tab that's missing for me (in red) and the area in which this tab normally shows (in yellow).
And this pic shows my IDE with the missing Debugger window.
I also opened Intellij's help dialogue which claims that the window will show up when your code hits a break point but that didn't do it for me either.
Try the "restore layout" button at the left toolbar of the debugger toolwindow
Showing a tool window:
"Choose View" | "Tool Windows" | "Debug Tool Window" in the main menu.
It as simple as that.
There are multiple other things you can try, look here:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/manipulating-the-tool-windows.html#show
For example reset your Tool Windows:
You can return to the default workspace layout by choosing "Window" | "Restore Default Layout" (Shift+F12).
To enable the debug window
Click on View -> Tool Windows -> Debug
Or press (Alt+5)
This is not an answer to the specific question asked but a possible solution to My debug window has disappeared!. My situation was actually with Android Studio but should apply elsewhere.
My symptoms were:
I use multiple monitors and after a system crash my debug window
vanished.
Before the crash my debug window was in window mode on a separate
monitor. After the crash it was gone.
There was no Debug tab showing on the main window.
The Debug entry in the View menu was greyed.
The solution that finally worked was to set a break-point at a location I knew the code would hit, debug my project and make it hit the break-point. The Debug window magically appeared.
Remember to reposition the window correctly before exiting.
Try button on the right (there should be debugger, console....)
Try to Restore default layout in console/debugger screen. Its give in image please do check.
Remove the dev option from run/debug configurations from Command line.
You would have undocked, just look for "dock" sign, click on it.
Now debugger will restored to default view
In Eclipse, when a program is run the output is displayed in a tab in the bottom portion of the screen. Is there any way to do this in Visual Studio?
For example if my program prints Hello World I want it to show Hello World in some sort of console tab instead of opening up in a totally different window.
Visual Studio also have Output Panel, where you can view debug process and console output etc.
you can access this from View Menu -> Output or Debug Menu -> Windows -> Output. Debug menu will let you to see the printed console output while you are debugging or running the program.
or using keyboard shortcut Ctrl + W,O.
To print some thing in output windows use System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine() or System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write() methods.
Navigate to Debug -> Windows -> Output
You can use System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine method.
I've tried running the debugger in VS. I see the error list, but I could not find the local tab to tell me what is going on inside the code. Would someone please tell me how to enable the tab?
You can use the hotkey chord: Ctrl+Alt+V then L
Or, while running your program, select on the toolbar: Debug > Windows > Locals
I am developing a asp.net website and need to add validator for multiple textboxes. I googled it and found a custom validator.
I add this as a project and do things.. and the website is running fine.
But whenever I run the project with Start Debugging icon, the following message appears.
I can click OK and continue but this has become really annoying.. Any idea not to appear this?
Go to Tools > Options > Debugging > General > Enable Just My Code > Warn if no user code on launch
It tells you at the bottom of the dialog how to turn off the warning:
To suppress this message, disable the 'Warn if no user code on launch' debugger option.
I installed ReSharper, and it works in Visual Studio, but how can I disable it?
Whenever I search in the ReSharper menu, I can't find a disable option.
You can disable ReSharper 5 and newer versions by using the Suspend Now button in menu Tools → Options → ReSharper.
If you want to do it without clicking too much, open the Command Window (Ctrl + W, A) and type:
ReSharper_Suspend or ReSharper_Resume depending on what you want.
Or you can even set a keyboard shortcut for this purpose. In Visual Studio, go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard.
There you can assign a keyboard shortcut to ReSharper_Suspend and ReSharper_Resume.
The Command Window can also be opened with Ctrl + Alt + A, just in case you're in the editor.
Bind ReSharper_ToggleSuspended to a shortcut key.
Steps:
Tools>Options
Click Keyboard on the left hand side
Type "suspend" in the "Show commands containing:" input box
Pick the "ReSharper_ToggleSuspended"
Press shortcut keys: and
Press the "Assign" button.
Binding ReSharper_ToggleSuspended to a shortcut key (in my case: Ctrl-Shift-Q) works very well. With ReSharper not supporting the async CTP yet (as of mid-2011), when dipping into the code the uses the async keyword, this shortcut is invaluable.
I always forget how to do this and this is the top result on Google. IMO, none of the answers here are satisfactory.
So the next time I search this and to help others, here's how to do it and what the button looks like to toggle it:
Make sure Resharper is currently enabled or the commands may fail.
Open package manager console via the Quick Launch bar near the caption buttons to launch a PowerShell instance.
Enter the code below into the Package Manager Console Powershell instance:
If you want to add it to the standard toolbar:
$cmdBar = $dte.CommandBars.Item("Standard")
$cmd = $dte.Commands.Item("ReSharper_ToggleSuspended")
$ctrl = $cmd.AddControl($cmdBar, $cmdBar.Controls.Count+1)
$ctrl.Caption = "R#"
If you want to add it to a new custom toolbar:
$toolbarType = [EnvDTE.vsCommandBarType]::vsCommandBarTypeToolbar
$cmdBar = $dte.Commands.AddCommandBar("Resharper", $toolbarType)
$cmd = $dte.Commands.Item("ReSharper_ToggleSuspended")
$ctrl = $cmd.AddControl($cmdBar, $cmdBar.Controls.Count+1)
$ctrl.Caption = "R#"
If you mess up and need to start over, remove it with:
$ctrl.Delete($cmdBar)
$dte.Commands.RemoveCommandBar($cmdBar)
In addition to adding the button, you may wish to add the keyboard shortcut
ctrl+shift+Num -, ctrl+shift+Num - that is: ctrl+shift+-+-
EDIT:
Looks like StingyJack found the original post I found long ago. It never shows up when I do a google search for this

If resharper is completely missing from the options menu, it could be because the extension itself has been disabled.
In Visual Studio 2017 ReSharper 2018.X.X can be enabled and disabled by going to Help > Manage Visual Studio Performance. Then select JetBrains ReSharper ... under Extensions.
In Visual Studio 2019, you would go under Extensions->Manage Extensions->Installed
You can add a menu item to toggle ReSharper if you don't want to use the command window or a shortcut key. Sadly the ReSharper_ToggleSuspended command can't be directly added to a menu (there's an open issue on that), but it's easy enough to work around:
Create a macro like this:
Sub ToggleResharper()
DTE.ExecuteCommand("ReSharper_ToggleSuspended")
End Sub
Then add a menu item to run that macro:
Tools | Customize...
Choose the Commands tab
Choose the menu you want to put the item on
Click Add Command...
In the list on the left, choose "Macros"
In the resulting list on the right, choose the macro
Click OK
Highlight your new command in the list and click Modify Selection... to set the menu item text etc.
You need to goto Tools-->Options--->Select Resharper--->Click on suspend now,to disable it
Now Resharper supports Suspend & Resume argument at devenv.exe
(ReSharper 2019.2.3)
Run VS & Suspend R#:
devenv.exe /ReSharper.Suspend
Run VS & Resume R#:
devenv.exe /ReSharper.Resume
Here's an example usage:
In case the solution did not help to just suspend resharper (STRG+R, STRG+R did still not work for example) I decided to disable the plugin and restart visual studio.
VisualStudio > Extras > Extensions > Resharper > Disable
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/how-to-diagnose-extension-performance
In ReSharper 8:
Tools -> Options -> ReSharper -> Suspend Now
For ReSharper 2017.2.2, go to ReSharper | Options | Product and features.
Tools -> Options -> ReSharper (Tick "Show All setting" if ReSharper option not available ). Then you can do Suspend or Resume. Hope it helps (I tested only in VS2005)
Very simple steps:
Go to Extensions → Manage Extensions
Click on Installed section at the top left and search for "resharper"
You will see disable button over the extension, click to it then restart Visual Studio and that's it!
