show entries dumped to grid while still debugging

kingkeith

currently, while debugging in "Results to Data Grids" mode, one can't see what has been dumped (except for value types, which are dumped to HTML) while debugging. It seems the grids only appear once the entire query has completed.

Is there any way to change this behavior?

The grid relies on a message loop, which can't run while the debugger has paused all threads.

no way to ensure that the message loop runs so the grid is created/shown before the debugger pauses the threads? I tried `Util.Break();` and `Thread.Sleep` etc. with no joy.

It wouldn't make any difference. Once the message loop stops, so does the grid.
