Debug Location toolbar
I notice the "Debug Location" toolbar seems to be missing in Visual Studio Express - is this intentional?
Now that
(a) multicore machines are pretty much standard,
(b) MS are pushing the 'responsive user experience'
multithreading is becoming bread-and-butter stuff, even in simple applications.
Obviously I appreciate this is a free product (and a terrific one at that
so I understand if it's deliberately restricted in various ways.
Thanks
Joe
Hi Joe.
It's great to hear that Express is terrific. :0) Your guess was right; the Debug Location toolbar is indeed deliberately restricted in C# Express. One of our main goals with Express was to keep the experience very simple - accordingly, the more advanced capabilities of thread and process selection are not enabled in that product. Because they comprise 2/3 of the toolbar, it was removed completely.
Please don't hesitate to continue providing feedback - we read every bit of it.
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply!
What about, as a compromise, providing just the Threads window (Ctrl+D, T)? I think, by default, this window is not on the menus anyway, so it wouldn't get in the way of keeping it simple.
Cheers
