Answer 1

You can set a breakpoint in Foo, open the immediate window and run the following command:

? Foo(valueIn)

This will print the return value in the Immediate Window.

You can also copy the expression and paste it into the Watch window, though I would do this only if I am certain that the call has no side effects (otherwise you can get confusing results).

Answer 2

You can always use your watch box to evaluate function calls.

Foo(valueIn);

This will only work if your Proxy.Bar(valueIn) is time independent though.
