how to see the values of static variables at runtime in visual studio

One way is to use Immediate Window as @Alexei says.

Second way is to use QuickWatch window as below: Put a breakpoint in the class for which you want to evaluate static or any other variables/fields/properties and run the application. Then when the breakpoint is hit, right click on any variable/field/property in a class and select QuickWatch. Now, type <ClassName.StaticVarName> in the QuickWatch window textbox and press enter and you should be able to see the value as below screenshot displays:

Debug -> Windows -> Immediate -> type code to access your members:

[>] MyClass.MyStaticValue [ENTER]

Or put them in Watch window.

Notes:

• more information can be found on MSDN - Immediate Window
• you may need to use global:: prefix if your class not found by just providing namespace (global::MyClass.MyStaticValue).
