Previously if I set a breakpoint in a cshtml file I could hover over a variable and Visual Studio would tell me the value.
Now when I hover a variable in cshtml, it just tells me the type... And I have to individually Shift+F9 (quickwatch) on every variable I want to see the value of.
How do I get back the hover showing the value?
Is the a change in a recent Visual Studio update? I'm using 15.7.3
I've already tried resetting to default settings, and still get the issue
Turns out it was a bug in Visual Studio Community
Fixed in Visual Studio Community 15.7.5

I have a problem with Visual Studio 2019.
From what I have seen in tutorials, during publishing an application, I should be able to change profile settings, by clicking a small pencil (I included a screenshot, it's a little pencil next to "false" and other settings.) However, every time i click it, it opens FolderProfile.pubxml file in Visual Studio instead! Is this indended behaviour, am I doing something completely wrong? How to change that? Screenshot
My problem fixed when I updated visual studio.
Also go to extensions and update all.
Now show UI options.
each time I open a visualGDB(5.4 r8) embedded project in visual studio 2019, the text color changes like the image below.
this problem only exists for VisualGDB projects
this problem didn't exist earlier for VisualGDB on Visual studio 2017
I can fix it each time by changing the visual studio default color theme. (e.g. switch from dark to light). but only for that session. after I close and reopen the VisualGDB projects I have to do it again.
I have cleaned VisualGDB cache with no luck.
I have set the font properties in options to default with no luck.
there should be some problem with intellisense cuz when i change the settings, the text gets back to normal for a few seconds.
any suggestions to how to solve this problem ?
This is actually a known issue caused by a recent change in the internal color encoding of Visual Studio 2019.
We have already fixed it in the VisualGDB 5.4 branch (simply re-downloading the installer from http://visualgdb.com/download/ should resolve the problem) and will include the fix in VisualGDB 5.5 Preview 1 that will be released next week.
In case the incorrect settings get cached somewhere, please use Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors->Text Editor->C/C++ <...> to reset the background color of the affected items to the default value.
I remember some time ago I could assign a variable in Immediate Window during debug and when hovering mouse over I could see a tooltip with member values just like when hovering over variables in the code.
Now this feature stopped working in my Visual Studio 2015. Did Microsoft remove this feature in VS2015 or I messed something up? Is there a setting for this somewhere in the menus?
EDIT: Because not everyone is so sure about this feature ever existing, I add a screenshot from Visual Studio 2012 where you can clearly see the tooltips for text typed in Immediate Window (here I use the variable web):
Update:
I test it in different VS version(VS2012/VS2013/VS2015/VS2017), it really has this issue in VS2015 or VS2017. But it has this feature in VS2012 or VS2013.
I report this issue to the product team here:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/55570/vs2015vs2017-tooltips-stopped-showing-when-hoverin.html
If possible, you could also share your comment there.
We finally migrated from VS2013 to VS2015. When debugging, mousing over a variable within a With block doesn't give the popup of the value like it did in VS2013.
Is there some setting that will make it work again?
When debugging in Visual Studio 2013, I have a variable that is around 130MB, and hovering over it even by accident causes my entire environment to freeze and I have to restart the debugging.
I want to disable the auto-evaluation on hover (even if it forces me to use watches to peek a value), but couldn't find it anywhere in the settings.
Is there a way to disable this?
