Viewing memory

When in a debug session, you can monitor and modify your process memory in the Memory Spaces view. For this purpose, you can create memory spaces to view particular memory sections. A space is defined by a specific address (base address). One space includes one memory rendering pane where you can examine the contents of the memory section that starts from the base address. The rendered memory is displayed in Hex Integer.
