XPath Watch (XWatch) View

This view shows XPath expressions to be evaluated during debugging. Expressions are evaluated dynamically as the processor changes its source context.

When the XPath expression is typed in the Expression column the usual content completion assistant is activated and supports the process of composing the expression just like in the XSLT editor.
