Cannot view contents of ImmutableArray in the debugger












0














I have the following:




  • Using Visual Studio 2017 (latest version)

  • Using ImmutableArray

  • Fails using .Net Framework 4.7.1 OR 4.7.2 (not .Net Core)

  • Works using .Net Framework 4.7.0 or earlier.


The issue is that if I stop in the debugger and try to inspect the contents of an ImmutableArray<T>, nothing happens.



If I try to Quickwatch the ImmutableArray<T>, I get the following error:




error CS0012: The type 'ValueType' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=4.0.20.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.




I can fix this error by going to:




Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General, enable "Use Managed Compatibility Mode"




Unfortunately, this mode disables some other features, so my question is:



Is there any way to get this working without using managed compatibility mode?



(I suspect this problem may be related to the fact that the 4.7.1 or later support is added to Visual Studio using a separate download.)





My sample test console app that I was using:



using System;
using System.Collections.Immutable;
using System.Linq;

namespace ConsoleApp10
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var t = test();
Console.WriteLine(t.Length); // Set breakpoint here: Cannot inspect 't'.
}

static ImmutableArray<int> test()
{
return Enumerable.Range(1, 10).ToImmutableArray();
}
}
}

  • It works fine for me (I can see the contents of the ImmutableArray when debugging) and I don't have ManagedCompatibilityMode enabled (although I'm only on 4.6.2)

  • @RufusL I just tried it on 4.6.2 and that does indeed work - so it's an issue with later versions of .Net. I've updated my question accordingly.
