Viewing member variable
MarkS
I can view thread local variables, but how can I view member variables?
I used adplus to generate a dump which I've loaded into windbg. I have
private pdb symbols correctly loaded. I can use .frame 5 to go back up the
stack and then use ? and db and dt commands to view local thread types.
But I'm stuck when trying to find a private member variable m_sqlclient.
I'm still a relative newbie here.
Many thanks,
Mark.

I've solved my own question by doing the following commands:
0:000> ? this
Evaluate expression: 1239460 = 0012e9a4
0:000> dd 12e9a4 L1
0012e9a4 0032a848
0:000> dt CSqlCommsClient 32a848
Great, I never knew I could use ? this
Wonderful! Thanks everyone. If anyone else can add to this, please do.

What's the purpose of the trailing dot? It didnt work for me.
It does work without the dot.
And the -r switch is great!
thanks!

It tells the debugger to show the fields of a struct/class. It might not be
working because `this` is the address of a pointer.

I rather like the ??@@c++(this->m_sqlclient) syntax. You can also put
other valid C++ expressions in the parenthesis which can be very
useful.
