People coming in from native background (I mean those who have been using GDB extensively) might get perplexed by the fact that they can't watch a variable in .NET. Reason being, when you ask the debugger to watch a particular variable or object (to let you know when a particular value is accessed or modified) you are basically asking the debugger to watch a physical address. And the fact that garbage collector can reshuffle the objects in memory obviates this possibility.
So what do you do? You refactor the code, define brand new get/set properties for that variable and start accessing it through them. Now you can put in break-points in the get and set properties.
