I am using Visual Studio 2010, and I know this feature is available in C++.
I need to debug some code, that changes a variable to several values. I want to debug the code in a specific case, when the variable getting a specific value. I know I can add if(var == value), but is there any elegant way to do it?
Another question, can I set a breakpoint when a variable is changed in general?

To set a conditional breakpoint, activate the context menu in the source pane, on the line where you want the breakpoint, and select “Add Conditional Breakpoint”. You'll then see a textbox where you can enter the expression. Press Return to finish.
Right-click the breakpoint symbol and select Conditions (or press Alt + F9, C). Or hover over the breakpoint symbol, select the Settings icon, and then select Conditions in the Breakpoint Settings window.
Use conditional breakpoints to conditionally stop program execution. Breakpoints normally stop the execution every time a certain line or function is reached. However, using the condition keyword, a breakpoint will only be activated if a certain condition is true.
'Yes' it possible to change the "value of a variable" while debugging a "c# application".
It is certainly possible to set a condition like a variable receiving a certain value. This is known as a breakpoint condition. To create one, do the following.
Now the breakpoint will only hit when your conditional evaluates to true.
The second item you asked for, breaking when a variable's value changes for any reason, is known as a data breakpoint. These are only available for C++ code. It's not an option in C#, VB.NET or any other managed language.
