How to change a variable value on conditional breakpoint in visual studio 2015

Question

Is there any way to change value of variable to on a conditional breakpoint and continue execution.

My code is like this

switch(var){ //conditional breakpoint on this line
    case 1:
    break;
...
}

I put conditional breakpoint like below (var == 0 ) || (var ==1) is true

So when this breakpoint hits, I want to change var = 2, and continue execution.

What I found: I found Action also, but it only log messages. Is there any way to executing a statement like var = 2 as Action taken on this conditional breakpoint.

I don't want to change code because building it takes hell lot of time.

Note: I am working C++ on Visual studio 2015

Answer 1

In Log a message to Output Window write {my_variable=12345} the side effect of log output is assigning 12345 to my_variable.

Take into account that Log a message can accept and evaluate complex expressions in curly braces.
