Quick watch window not showing the variable value in Visual Studio for C++/CLI project

I know that Visual Studio support for C++/CLI is terrible. But I am getting a weird issue when doing a Quick watch. The variable which I am watching is in the scope and it has value. But VS says, the variable is not in the scope. See the image

It would be great if someone can suggest a workaround. Or is this a bug with VS?

I actually made it work by these steps, not sure why this should be the solution though.

  1. checking enabling .net source stepping and enable source server. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=987ubn&s=3#.WAM_D5MrK8o
  2. it then loaded all symbols
  3. made a clean build, removed it again and enabled just my code
  4. clean build, voila i got correct debug symbols again!

Is this in Debug or Release? Release builds, even with PDB support, are notorious for poor watches.
