VS2008 Immediate Window Lost

I work in Visual Studio 2008, and a moment ago, I lost access to the windows usually docked at the bottom of the IDE (Immediate, Error List, Search Results) and I can't find a way to get them back again.

I tried

  • Using all the possible shortcuts (CTRL+ALT+I, CTRL+ALT+O)- none of them work
  • Using the menu: Debug > Windows > Immediate- did not work
  • Doing a search- no results appear
  • Rebooting- didn't work either

I can however watch, dock, and generally work the breakpoints window. When I am in Debug mode I can see them again, but if I try to de-dock the window, I get a VS Exception.

Has anyone experienced this issue before?

Similar to the Command window, the Immediate window lets you test the code without having to run it. The Intermediate window is used to evaluate, execute statements, or print variable values. To open the Immediate window, navigate to Debug | Windows and select Immediate.

The menu commands (which you've already tried)

  • Debug > Windows > Immediate
  • View > Find Results > Find Results

or the keyboard shortcuts

Ctrl + D, I or Ctrl + Alt + I (For the Immediate window)

should work.

If they don't, (and it isn't because the windows are collapsed, undocked, etc) then something has gone wrong.

Try

Window > Reset Window Layout

(see Mladen's post) and if that fails, try restarting Visual Studio.

If all else fails, you can try

Tools > Import and Export Settings... > Reset all settings

(It gives you an option to backup your current settings)
