How to view the call stack in visual studio mac?

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

Debugging a Xamarin.iOS app, and can't find the call stack in Visual Studio Mac.
The documentation here says helpfully

Quote:
The debug configuration provides a helpful set of tools to support debugging, such as breakpoints, using data visualizers, and viewing the call stack:

but then it doesn't tell you how to view the call stack.

What I have tried:

Read the documentation, looked for a Debug menu (no), found other Debug options on the Run menu (call stack not included), ditto View menu, clicked every button in sight on the VS Mac GUI...what am I missing?

The call stack comes up automatically when you start debugging.
I had somehow managed to close it, and I can't find how to make it come back.
It remained closed through several debugging runs, also after closing the project and opening it again.
After I forced Visual Studio to quit and re-started it, the Call Stack popped up again.

You can find it from the Debug -> Windows menu item.

There is no Debug menu in Visual Studio Mac.

Try the other menu items to see where the call stack window can be opened.
