SUMMARY
=======
The MSDN library documentation for the Evaluate method of the Debugger object
incorrectly states that this method is functionally identical to typing in the
Visual C++ debugger's Watch window. For example, the Watch window can evaluate
C/C++ function calls and the Evaluate method cannot.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Launch the MSDN library and follow this path:

Objects
Debugger Object
Click Evaluate. The documentation states the following:
Evaluates an expression, as if you typed it in the Visual C++ debugger's Watch window.
This is incorrect. Debugger.Evaluate cannot evaluate functions during a debug
session of C/C++ code in Visual C++. However, Debugger.Evaluate can evaluate
such mathematical expressions as "2+2".
