Debugging question : Evaluating selected property

The VS C# debugger shows most vars in debug mode but I am unsure where to
find the command or feature location that allows the user to simply
highlight a var or property and display the value.  Hovering the mouse
*sometimes* shows it sometimes not.

I am use to the Borland IDE.  It allows this so I would suspect the VS IDE
has it somewhere, I am just not finding it.  I am sure the var or value I
want to inspect in my .NET app is in Scope, and the app is in debug config
mode so the symbols should be there and accessible.

How can I highlight some text in the code window and popup a window or the
like using a key combination to show just the var's value?  Is it possible
in VS 2003?

Thanks

Double-check the debug-build options of the modules for which this feature
does not work.

The app is linked with modules that do not have the necessary symbols for
those variables.

"Generate Debug Symbols" is checked and the debug style is "project" for
everything is question.

I also want to be able to change a value at runtime of a variable in the
IDE.  Is there a separate window (docked or undocked) that displays and
alters a variable?

Thanks
