Set value of a private list in visual studio debugger

Question

In visual studio you can edit the value of some fields in the locals window or by hovering over them:

However this doesn't work for replacing a list which is a private field (in this case when I write click on _sectionList the Edit value option is greyed out).

Is there anyway to set the value of a private list field in the visual studio debugger?

In particular I want to replace _sectionList with sectionList2.

Answer 1

You can use the Immediate Window (CtrlAltI) to assign whatever you want to your private fields.
