Split string is not working in MVC controller

Question

I have the following code in my MVC controller:

string[] w_result;
string[] w_result2;

string[] new_line = { Environment.NewLine };
string all_copybook = c.original_copybook;

w_result = all_copybook.Split(new_line, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
w_result2 = "abaUUUnns s s".Split('a'); 

When I run it in Visual Studio 2012 through the debugger I see no exception, but when I try to view the value of w_result or w_result2, I am getting:

w_result The name 'w_result' does not exist in the current context
w_result2 The name 'w_result2' does not exist in the current context

Any idea why?

For debugging, change your build configuration to Debug instead of Release. The Release configuration can optimize your code and prevent the debugger from seeing some local variables.
