The Data View allows you to keep track of specific variables as you move around your program, and to manipulate the data in those variables in a number of ways. You add variables to the Data View by selecting them in the Local Variables view and either dragging them into the Data View, or right-clicking and selecting Add to Data View from the context menu.
Once data is in the Data View, you can do a number of things:
• Dereference pointers to access the data they point to
• Recast data to see different views of it, such as recasting pointers to the first value in an array into the actual array so you can see the contained values
• Changing data values to see the effect on the program
