Repro Steps:

1. F5 the following

 

class C
{
    static object F(string s)
    {
        return new object();
    }
    static void Main()
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
    }
}

 

2. Evaluate F("//") in the Watch window

3. Right-click on the expression and "Add Watch"

 

Result: Invalid expression

 

 

Same issue exists with VB with strings and XML literals:

 

Imports System.Xml.Linq
Class C
    Shared Function F(x As XElement) As Object
        Return New Object()
    End Function
    Shared Sub Main()
        System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break()
    End Sub
End Class
