Note: You cannot undo the action after you click OK, so be careful when making any changes.
Current Value: The value of the data item.
New Value: The new value for the data item (enter or select from a drop-down list).
For a primitive value, you can enter a new value.
For a reference pointer, you can enter the memory address of an existing object or array. To set a reference pointer to null, enter 0 as a memory address.
For a string, you can enter either a new string value or the memory address of an existing string.
Interpret New Value as Object Address: If this option is checked, the New Value entry is interpreted as a memory address pointer to an object or array in the heap of the program you are debugging. For a string, this box must be checked check if the value you enter in the New Value field is the memory address of an existing string.
