VS debugger do not works as expected

When I debug my ASP.NET app and execution breaks at break point I can't read type variable using Debug Watches. Why? I get error

type    The name 'type' does not exist in the current context

The code works fine, the problem only in debugging, I can't read all variables while debugging.

var converterSubClasses = new List<Type>();
GetClassHierarhy(ref converterSubClasses, converterClass);

foreach (var type in converterSubClasses)
{
  /* break point here */  var classProperties = type.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
  /* skip code */
}

enter image description here

Are you debugging code compiled in Release mode? Depending on the optimizations the compiler used the variable type may not actually be there. Confirm you're debugging against Debug compiled code and try then. (I've had loops not make sense and entire sections get jumped when trying to debug in release mode.)
