Visual Studio - How to change the return value of a method in the debugger?

Question

When I\'m debugging, I often have to deal with methods that does not use an intermediate variable to store the return value :

   private int myMethod_1()
            


        

Answer 1

Why do you want to change the return value in the called method? You can easily change it on-the-fly in the Calling method. As soon as your function returns, you get the value returned and there you can change it.

   private int myMethod_1()
   {
      return 12;
   }
//call would be something like this
int x = myMethod_1();
//Here you can change the value after the execution of the above line.

Even if you are not storing return value in a variable, and you are directly passing it to some other method, even then you can change the value by stepping into that method and changing the argument value there. Am I missing something here?
