VB.NET - Debugging Question
Is there a way in Visual Studio 2005 to mark a variable or object property, like with a watch, and then to have the program run and break when that variable or property changes?

it is easy with a property but not with a field, inside property Set method, you can place a breakpoint, send a debug message or even launch a messagebox.

Thats just a standard breakpoint. I've got a string that I have declared, which does not have a set method. Somewhere in my code is changing to something that I hadn't planned on and I need to find the point where that happens. I know there is some way to monitor a watch and have the program break when the watch changes. That is what I'm looking to be able to do.
wrap the string with a set method, I assume the string is some class member.

Well, I'm building an ASP.NET application with VB. The variable is declared at the top of a very large method. If I were to wrap it in a set method I would have to go through the entire large method and find every location where the variable is used and change the way it is accessed.
