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
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?
To display the Immediate window, open a project for editing, and then choose Debug > Windows > Immediate or press Ctrl+Alt+I. You can also enter Debug. Immediate in the Command window.
Press Ctrl + Q to focus on Quick Launch text box. Type Immediate then choose the item that appears: Debug -> Windows -> Immediate ( Ctrl+Alt+I )
There is no Immediate Window unlike Visual Studio in VSCode. But you can still execute Javascript in VSCode. Open the JavaScript file in VSCode, then use shortcut Ctrl + Alt + N , the code will run and the output will be shown in the Output Window.
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)
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)
