Debugging lambda expressions

The ability to debug lambda expressions has been around since Visual Studio 2015. This is a fantastic addition to the features of our favorite IDE. It allows us to check the results of a lambda expression on the fly and modify the expression to test different scenarios.

Getting ready

We will create a very basic lambda expression and change it in the Watch window to produce a different value.

How to do it...

1. Create a console application and add a class called LambdaExample to the console application. Add a property to this class called FavThings:

        public class LambdaExample
        {
          public string FavThings { get; set; }
        }

2. In the console application, create a List<LambdaExample> object and add a few of your favorite things to this list:

        List<LambdaExample> MyFavoriteThings = new List<LambdaExample>();
        LambdaExample thing1 = new LambdaExample();
        thing1.FavThings = "Ice-cream";
        MyFavoriteThings...
