In this article, we will look into new feature of VS 2010 called as  DataTips pinning. This feature is available in all editions of VS 2010. DataTips  is a nice feature helpful while debugging an application. It works only in break  mode to view contents of a variable within current execution scope. A DataTip  appears in source code window, when you place a mouse over a variable in current  scope and it disappears on mouse out. In VS 2010, we can pin a DataTip so that  it remains open and sticks to a specific location in source code. We can drag a  DataTip to any location within source code window. To pin a DataTip, right click  on a variable and click Pin to Source as shown below:

A pinned DataTip closes, when debugging session ends or clicking on close  icon. We can expand members of variable like array or object by clicking + sign  before variable name in DataTip
