View data changing in array while running in debug

Hello All,

Is there a way to view an array in VS 2008 when running the application in debug? I would like to view the elements of a bit array and be able to watch the status of the bits change from 0 to 1 and be able to see the corresponding index next to the bit. I know if I use the watch window with a break point this is possible but I would like to view the array while the program is running without a break point in a separate window in the IDE.

Thanks for your time.

No -- but you could add a debug form when you're in debug mode using #if (DEBUG) ... #endif. In that form you could display the contents of the array as they change. You would need to encapsulate the array so you could make sure your debug form was updated when the values of it are modified.
