VC9 display details about the exception that just occured.

Question

I'm debugging an application in visual C++ 2008 express. An exception occurs so the debugger breaks and waits for my instructions.

How do I view the details of that exception, as an object, just like other stack level objects in the auto and local windows.

For instance, in my immediate case its a std:exception. So chances are it has some sort of a string associate with it as the error message.

If you just press F5 (Continue), the exception that was just caught is re-displayed so you can inspect it.
