VS 2010 Debugger: Any way to search an object for a particular value?

Question

I am trying to search the "this" object in an ASP.NET MVC 2 for a string value.

In a view, I set the partial view input tag prefix and am trying to figure out how to reference it in the partial view itself.

For example:

Html.EditorFor(m => m, "templateName", "fieldPrefix");

In the partial view, I would like to search the "this" object for my fieldPrefix string to see where the MVC folks decided to store it.

Any ideas?

I'm not familiar with the ASP.NET scenario, but if I understand correctly you want to search for a string value in the debug watch window. There is no simply way to do this, but you can type ?this in the Immediate window, which will print out everything about that object, and then use simple text search (Ctrl+F) to find the specific string you are looking for.
