For more information about valid expressions, see Expressions in the debugger. The condition can be any valid expression that the debugger recognizes. You can control when and where a breakpoint executes by setting conditions. For detailed instructions, see Use tracepoints in the Visual Studio debugger. You create a tracepoint by setting a special action in the Breakpoint Settings window. A tracepoint can act like a temporary trace statement in the programming language and does not pause the execution of code. Set conditions and actions, add and edit labels, or export a breakpoint by right-clicking it and selecting the appropriate command, or hovering over it and selecting the Settings icon.Ī tracepoint is a breakpoint that prints a message to the Output window. To re-enable a breakpoint, hover over or right-click it, and select Enable breakpoint. Disabled breakpoints appear as empty dots in the left margin or the Breakpoints window. To disable a breakpoint without deleting it, hover over or right-click it, and select Disable breakpoint. You can click it, press F9, or use Debug > Toggle Breakpoint to delete or reinsert it. Here are a few general instructions for working with breakpoints. When the debugger stops at the breakpoint, you can look at the current state of the app, including variable values and the call stack. So, the value hasn't changed since the variable was initialized (set to a value of 1) because the statement in yellow hasn't yet executed. For C++ code, you can turn on highlighting of breakpoint and current lines by selecting Tools (or Debug) > Options > Debugging > Highlight entire source line for breakpoints and current statement (C++ only).Īt the breakpoint in the following example, the value of testInt is still 1. The breakpoint appears as a red dot in the left margin.įor most languages including C#, breakpoint and current execution lines are automatically highlighted. You can also select the line and press F9, select Debug > Toggle Breakpoint, or right-click and select Breakpoint > Insert breakpoint. Click in the far left margin next to a line of code.You can't set a breakpoint on method signatures, declarations for a namespace or class, or variable declarations if there's no assignment and no getter/setter.
AUTOIT SCITE DEBUGGER BREAKPOINT CODE
For example, in the following C# code, you could set a breakpoint on the line of code with the variable assignment ( int testInt = 1), the for loop, or any code inside the for loop. You can set a breakpoint on any line of executable code. If you know the task or problem you're trying to solve, but you need to know what kind of breakpoint to use, see FAQ - Find your debugging feature.
