how to inspect a c# (unsafe) pointer variable in visual studio debugger?

Question

the pointer variable only shows as a hex address:

how to make it expandable for watching the fields and sub-object (as in c++)?

NOTE: , I have tried both in VS2019 and Visual Studio for Mac , none of them support this. and googled a lot of keywords but there's no any related topics. wondering is there no one need this feature?

I did some testing and were always able to extend the pointer info, but i guess you can add a "watch" where you dereference the pointer. so try adding "*ip" to your watch please.
