I have an instance variable with several members, many of which have their own members and so on. Using the debugger and watch variables, I found a string variable with a specific value that I need by diving into this variable's members.
However, after spending some time on other things and coming back to this, I am now unable to find where this value is located. When I have my application paused, is there a way to search the values of variables in the current context for a given value?
To clarify, if I have the given structure:
myVariable
|
|--aMember1
| |--subMember = "A value"
|
|--aMember2
|--subMember = "Another value"
Is there a way (possibly using the watch list in VS debugger) to search myVariable
for any member or submember with the value "A value", returning to me the path myVariable->aMember->subMember
?
