Visual Studio - Count instances of a class created in a runtime

Is there a tool in Visual Studio allowing to check how many instances of a given class was created during debugging (without editing a code)?

Bit late to the party, but this question ranks high in the Google and I found a way to show instances in VS.

Once you hit a breakpoint in the Diagnostic Tools (Ctrl+Alt+F2) select Memory Usage tab. Click Take Snapshot button and when it's done click View Heap. You will see instantiated objects, count, memory usage etc.

You can use SOS library on windbg debugging tool. There is a good tutuorial in below link. You can list objects with '!Dumpheap' command
