How can I view the entire value of a property in the Visual Studio debugger?

I have an object with a property (string, in the form of XML) that is used a few times and leading to unexpected results later on, so I need to find where/how it is changing to do so.
I've tried hovering on the property and pinning it, but I only get the small box that shows ~2 lines of the string. But it is a fairly large string so I'd like to see all or most of it. Kind of like the text/xml visualizer, except I can't take any debugging action in the VS window with that box open.
Is there a way to do this in Visual Studio 2013?

Shift + Alt + Q after selecting an expression in code or Locals window for viewing variables related to the last and current line.

After hovering the variable, use the magnifier icon left to the value. It will open a window with the variable contents.

Alternatively, add the variable to your Locals/Watch window.
