The Breakpoints view in the Debugger window lists the breakpoints set
in the current project. You switch the display of the
Breakpoints view by clicking in the View toolbar of the Debugger window.
By default, each entry contains a short textual description of the breakpoint and a boolean flag indicating whether the breakpoint is enabled or disabled. You can enable or disable a breakpoint directly in the Breakpoints view by changing the Enabled property.
The icon to the left of the breakpoint summary distinguishes the type of the breakpoint.
Icon | Description |
---|---|
![]() | Breakpoint set on a specific line |
![]() | Breakpoint other than a line breakpoint (for example, a method breakpoint or a variable breakpoint). The set of breakpoint types that is available is dependent upon the debugger that you are using. |
The contextual menu in the Breakpoints view includes the following items.
