Function evaluation timed out when examining variables in debug/stepping through

Question

When debugging/stepping through code, and I try to examine a variable in the watch, I get errors for every inner-variable stating function evaluation timed out.

Does

Answer 1

The most likely cause of this problem is an implicit evaluation of a property or ToString method which causes an issue with the CLR evaluation thread. To verify this turn off implicit evaluation.

• Tools -> Options
• Debugging
• Uncheck "Enable property evaluation and other implicit function calls"

Then restart your scenario and see if it works.
