Can I debug a pointer as array?

Question

For example, I wanna watch pA

int *pA = new int[LEN];

Then in visual studio, I can see only pA[0] in watch-window

I try to view '(int (*)[LEN])pA', but it does not work

I don't want to make

int (*test)[LEN] = (int (*)[LEN])pA

to debug

How can I see dynamic allocated pointer as a static array in debugger of VS2010?

You can write pA,10 (or how many elements you want to see) in the watch window.
