MSVC9: How do I view a location in memory?

I'm pretty sure I'm overlooking something totally obvious, but I want to view the raw contents of a point in memory under MSVC9, but I can't find a location in the UI where I can punch in a memory address. How can this be done?

Also check out the format specifiers for use in the watch window. My favourites are hr and wm but you should check out m and its friends.

A couple of places:

  1. When you're debugging, go to Debug->Windows->Memory

  2. In the watch window, just cast a memory address to whatever you want:

    (char*)0xdeadbeef
