I'm trying to investigate a bug in a crash dump (so I can not change the code). I have a really complicated object (thousands of lines in the serialized representation) and its state is inconsistent. To investigate its state the Visual Studio debugger view is useless. But the object has a data contract. I'd like to serialize it and then use my favorite text editor to navigate across the object. Is it possible to do the from the debugger?

In visual studio if you open tools >> Options and then debugging >> General make sure the option "Use managed compatibility mode" it checked on. This should show com objects as their proper types in the debugger.
The yellow arrow(debug pointer) which can be used to manipulate executing line(or execution flow) while debugging, thus allowing the user to move the arrow simply by using mouse. But it(debug pointer) can't be manipulated or moved using mouse, to change the executing line(or execution flow) while debugging.
With any luck you have Json.Net in you appdomain already. In which case pop this into your Immediate window:
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(someVariable)
