Hi,
I copied the necessary code to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Packages\Debugger\autoexp.dat, and tried the following example which is posted in the archives http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2007/06/28394.php , but it doesnot work like the given sreenshot in the example. The information that is shown in the watch windows is the same as before.

#define BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_LIMIT_INDEXED_BY_SIZE 5
#define BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_LIMIT_TAG_SIZE 3
#define BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_LIMIT_COMPOSITE_KEY_SIZE 5
#include "mic_visualizer.hpp"

#include <string>
#include <boost/multi_index_container.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/sequenced_index.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/hashed_index.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/ordered_index.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/random_access_index.hpp>
using namespace boost::multi_index;
using std::wstring;
using namespace std;

struct test {
    wstring x;
    wstring y;
    test(wchar_t const *str, wchar_t const *str2=L"def") : x(str), y(str2) {}
    bool operator<(test const& other) const {
        return x<other.x;
    }
    bool operator==(test const& other) const {
        return x==other.x;
    }
};
namespace boost {
    inline std::size_t hash_value(test const& t)
    {
        return hash_value(t.x);
    }
}

typedef multi_index_container<test, indexed_by<hashed_non_unique<identity<test> > > > cont;

VISUALIZE_MULTI_INDEX_CONTAINER(cont);

int main() {
    cont test_cont;
    test_cont.insert(test(L"aaa"));
    test_cont.insert(test(L"aaa", L"other"));
    test_cont.insert(test(L"aac"));
    return 0; // see screenshoxt
}

You can try using the appropriate Visualizer:
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/boost_docs/subprojects/DebuggerVisualizers/

IIRC, using visuzlizer for MI-container requires some additional code as well.
