I am using Visual Studio to debug Symbian programs. However, it is not convenient to view the content of the strings in VS watch window. I don't remember if I read some article about customizing VS to view Symbian strings, if there is, please tell me or give me the hyperlink.

That way works if your viewing a concreate descriptor type - TBuf, TPtr etc.  For the abstract types, TDes/TDesC you will just get the length shown.

A better way that allows you to view all descriptors, including the abstract ones can be found here:

Guys, what about VS .NET 2003? Will it work the same way there too?

Thank you
