Using SOS from within Visual Studio

I sometimes use WinDbg and the SOS extension to debug my applications. There is a lot of good and useful functionality like seeing which objects are currently alive in memory which I really want to have while debugging from within Visual Studio. 

Can I use the SOS extension from WinDbg within Visual Studio?

You can load the SOS extension from within Visual Studio. You do that by writing in the immediate window ".load sos" (do note that you might be required to add a complete path to the sos.dll).

In any case, I've written a blog post titled "Loading and using SOS from within Visual Studio" about this subject.
