Viewing memory

When in a debug session, you can monitor and modify your process memory in the Memory view. For this purpose, you can create memory monitors to view particular memory sections. A monitor is defined by a specific address (base address) or by an expression. By default, a monitor includes one memory rendering pane where you can examine the contents of the memory section that starts from the base address. The rendered memory is displayed in one of the predefined formats: Floating Point, Traditional, Hex, ASCII, Signed Integer, Unsigned Integer, or Hex Integer.

If required, you can add more memory renderings to a memory monitor. Rendering can start with any valid address. Memory renderings are read-only.
