Surley one of the most annoying problems with remote debugging is after finally getting a connection, the correct pdb’s, the correct source and a breakpoint hit you examing the values to be faced with a big red cross saying the value has probably being optimized and you cannot view it. I’m not absolutley sure of the reason but I guessed that CLR had optimised it because the code had run before the debugger was attached. So my tip is to try and attach the debugger before the code is run. Obviously not the easiest thing to do every time but if you can do this then the CLR will not optimize the values aways. Hopefully someone out there will provide a better answer.
