Visual Studio 2010 Professional: How to access Modules window

visual studio 2010

How do i access the Modules window in Visual Studio 2010?


Irrelevant information

According to MSDN, only certain editions of Visual Studio let you access the modules window (i.e. Pro, Premium, Ultimate). i have Professional:

Note: Strictly speaking i don't have Pro, but i assume Pro is shorthand for Professional

MSDN goes on to say:

To display the Modules window in break mode or in run mode

  • On the Debug menu, choose Windows, and then click Modules.

Except i have no Modules menu option:

Possible solutions :

  • Try the shortcut Ctrl + D, M (Note that I configured my VS2010 for C# development the first time I started it so the shortcut may not be the same).

  • Also, try repairing the install of VS2010 (This has helped me in the past).

  • You can also reset VS settings from Tools -> Import and Export settings -> Reset all settings

Note that I also have VS2010 Professional edition and it's visible for me under Debug -> Windows -> Modules (I'm stopped at a break point here) :

Edit :

The option is also available in the Customize window

P.S: This option is only available when in debug mode
