I am working with the debugger and cannot find Debug==>Windows==>Memory==>Memory 1.  Is it not available for the personal edition? Or is it a VS problem? Thanks - John

It would appear to me to be a Visual Studio issue, since the Debug windows are a VS feature.

What does the Debug > Windows sub-menu list?

Are you using a full version of Visual Studio, or the Visual Studio Shell?

The sub menu lists breakpoints, watchpoints, program breakpoints,exception settings, output, show diagnostic tools and immediate. I am using VS Community 2015 which I believe is a full version.

Is the debugger actually attached to a process?

I don't use VS 2015 myself, so it's possible that Microsoft has changed the menu layout, or that some option controls whether the Memory windows are available. But in any case this looks like a Visual Studio question.

The list of menu items that you describe are the ones available when the debugger is not active. If you are actually debugging the program, an expanded list of menu items will appear including the memory windows. FYI, the memory windows option is only available for native code projects. This is not available for managed code.

Thanks.
