Visual Studio Debugger doesnt step into unused variable declarations

Question

The debugger does not want to step into an unused variable. If I declare (var x = "hola") it doesn't recognize x and says that it doesn't exist in the current context. When I do some work with x then it recognizes it.

Answer 1

That line of code is probably optimized away by the compiler... You might be able to step into it if you turn off optimizations.
