view multi-dimensional array values debugging in Visual C++

The simplest way to see large data arrays in VS is to use a memory window instead of a Watch window or the Autos or Locals window. Just drag your pointer value to the memory window's address box.

If you are using Visual Studio, put array[X],Y in the watch window, where X is the line number and Y the number of rows - this will allow you to watch whole lines in the watch window.

For example, put those lines to the watch window:

array[0],7
array[1],7
array[2],7
...

Iterate through and print out each value. Roughly something like this:

void print2DArray(double **A, int width, int height) {
    for (int i=0; i<width; i++) {
        for (int j=0; j<height; j++) {
            cout<<A[i][j]<<" ";
        }
        cout<<endl;
    }
}

Through the debugger you may write explicitly in the watch window A[2][1] etc..

Edited - after the code presented:

int main() {
    double **A; 
    double M = 4;
    A = new double *[M]; //define M by M matrix
    for( int k =0; k < M; k++) { 
        A[k] = new double [M]; 
    } 
    //assign values to matrix 
    for (int i = 0; i < M; i++) { 
        for (int j = 0; j < M; j++) { 
            if ( j == i) { 
                A[i][j] = 2; 
            } else { 
                A[i][j] = 1; 
            }
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

I put break point on the return 0 and add some test values to the watch window:

    A[0][0] 2.0000000000000000  double
    A[0][1] 1.0000000000000000  double
    A[0][2] 1.0000000000000000  double
    A[1][0] 1.0000000000000000  double
    A[1][1] 2.0000000000000000  double
    A[1][2] 1.0000000000000000  double

It seems fine. What do you get when you're doing the same? Where is the problem? You can also print the values to screen as MatrixFrog suggested.

edit.

I was using a CLR console project. I tried a win32 console and it works fine. I can see a google moment coming up to find out what a CLR project is.
