+You can inspect WebKit2 API types in Visual Studio by casting them to their underlying WebKit2 implementation type. For example, say you have a `WKMutableDictionaryRef` that points to address `0x12345678` and want to see what it contains. You can view its contents using the following watch expression (in either the Watch Window or Quick Watch Window):
+
+{{{
+{,,WebKit.dll}(WebKit::MutableDictionary*)0x12345678
+}}}
+
+The same technique will work for other WebKit2 API types as long as you substitute the appropriate type for `MutableDictionary` above.
