Visual C++ 2008: debugging data behind pointer array

Question

How can I see data behind a pointer to an array more than the first item in Visual Studio 2008? It would be so useful to see arbitrary amount of items, not just the first one.

Answer 1

char* p = new char[100];

Type in the Watch window:

p, 100
