>>>It depends on if the variable is still in scope. If its an unhandled exception and the debugger stops you on the line of the error, you should still be able to view the variable's value. If you are handling the exception and the variable goes out of scope you'll need to set a breakpoint and view the value before the exception.

Or use the CallSTack and go back .. each line allows you to view the variables at that spot.
