With the Visual Studio debugger, what's the best way to evaluate multiple function calls on one line?

Question

Let's say I am using the debugger in Visual Studio on the following code:

if (method1() == method2())
{
 // do something
}

Is there a way to see the results of method1() and method2() without manually stepping into each one and going through the whole method?

you _could_ save the results into variables first. (which IMHO would be the cleaner code, anyway) — Franz Gleichmann, Jul 19 '22 at 05:41
Set a breakpoint at all return statements of each method. Write the return value into a variable and compare the variables. — Oliver, Jul 19 '22 at 05:41
If the functions have no side effects, you could run them in the Immediate or the Watch window. — Klaus Gütter, Jul 19 '22 at 06:06
Or select e.g. "method1()" and right-click > QuickWatch. As Klaus says, ideally they have no side-effects. — sellotape, Jul 19 '22 at 06:35
