visual studio .net debugging: Hi

I would like to keep an eye on some fields in an object. However, this object is adressed accordingly to the scope of execution if I monitor it in the Watch and hence I would need to write the path to the object in the watch as I jump from scope to scope. Is it possible to watch the fields of an object no matter where in the program you are?

The short answer is no. As soon as a variable goes out of scope, the
debugger is no longer able to display its value. Of course, you can always
use the Call Stack window to navigate to the frame where the variable is in
scope.

In which language?

If debugging C++ you can use the "advanced breakpoint syntax" (misnamed) to
specify a context on the Watch window item. Of course this only works if
the function whose scope you want to see is somewhere on the stack.

If debugging other langauges then no, sorry.
