Spring4D package use: Debug information for Spring4D objects.

[Thomas Lassen]

After having installed Spring4D, I decided to try out some of the collection classes in a small console application. During debugging I noticed that I was not able to inspect, via the "Watch" window,

the contents of objects I had created in my code. I have fiddled around with various settings of the compiler, spent some time trying to understand that way in which packages work in Delphi, but have so far drawn a blank.

Does anyone in this group have suggestions on what I might do in order to retain the ability to inspect objects during debugging? Thanks in advance.

Ps. Naturally I've tried searching this, groups, but have not yet found the answer.

I guess the answer to my question can be found here: No debug visualizer for Spring4d:

The nature of interfaces is that they don't have anything to inspect in the watches window.

However if you are interested in their content you can call any method on them (like .Count, .ToArray or [n] for a specific item in an IList) to see whats in them..

Thanks Stefan. Previously I have mostly worked with .NET/C# in Visual Studio, so I am adjusting to the environment of Delphi/RAD studio.
