Finding Two participants searched for easier way of evaluating expressions. They would like to click into Watches or Variables windows probably into a text field of some sort where they can write expression directly and get results. Severity Two participants wanted such behavior, other participants would probably also benefit from it. Recommendation Try to put evaluation of expressions into the Watches or Variable windows. Or maybe just make it easier to add a new Watch by clicking into a text field in Watches window
O.K. We need to reconsider the Evaluator Window and try to make the evaluation esier to discover and access.
This can not be done for NB 6, but will be considered for the next release (as a part of debugger redesign).
