The C# "interactive window" is more fully featured than the "immediate window". Is it possible to load the debug context into it during a debug session?

the [other way round](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37978166/visual-studio-2015-interactive-window), and here [maybe relevant](http://stackoverflow.com/a/11135855/1132334) – Cee McSharpface May 18 '17 at 06:49

At a rough guess this will allow you to launch code from the interactive window but when you hit a breakpoint you will only have the context available from the immediate window. Not quite what I am looking for though still interesting – bradgonesurfing May 18 '17 at 06:52

The REPL feature is completely divorced from the debugger interface. In fact you can't even debug REPL code. So what you are asking for is simply not possible. – Hans Passant May 18 '17 at 08:59

Quoted from this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43106951/1806239
After you've run Initialize Interactive with Project, you can use Debug > Attach to Process to connect to the InteractiveHost.exe process.
You can then debug functions from your project.
Works for me in VS2019.
