Track all object references in C#

Question

Is it possible to list all references of an object, while debugging in Visual Studio. I am using C#. I am looking for something similar to what GC does during garbage collection.

Answer 1

SOS can do this for you. It isn't integrated into the debugger, but you can attach it to your running process. You may find it helpful to use SOSAssist, rather than learning the console syntax. IIRC:

!dumpheap –type {type}

Answer 2

Here's how I do it:
