调试时如何在 Visual Studio 中检查“这个”object？

Question

When you debug your program, and for example you set a breakpoint as in here:

void foo(string s)
{
  (*) if (s=="bar")
  ...
}

(*) denotes breakpoint

you can move mouse cursor over "s" and inspect the content of it.

The question is how to do the same (ie inspect object) but not any argument or variable, but "this" object?

My case: I get exception at some point, I trace call stack, and let's say I would like to inspect "this" object of the 4th method of the call stack (for example).
