Observe the variables addresses in Visual Studio 2012

I'm using VS 2012RC and I write some simple C# methods for education purposes. I'm currently learning how exactly C#/.NET works with strings and I want to observe the addresses of my string variables just to see how they behave, but when I try to debug with breakpoint I get only the values of the variables and not their addresses in the memory. I'm pretty sure there's a way to get this info in VS 2012 so I'm looking for a little help on the topic.

Thanks

Place a breakpoint somewhere.

Optionally make an object ID for your variable.

Open your memory window. ctrl+D,Y

type in your variable name, or the object ID in the address bar.

Enjoy.
