Improve Your Debugging Experience In Visual Studio With Conditional Breakpoints
Sick of stepping through loops until your desired data object is found? Use conditions for breakpoints to speed up debugging!
A conditional breakpoint is just a regular breakpoint that interrupts the app process if a condition is satisfied. A regular breakpoint stops every time the compiler passes by. So you have more control over your debugging workflow.
Create a breakpoint by clicking on the first column of your code editor window. Then right-click on the breakpoint and select Insert Conditional Breakpoint. Here you can define a boolean term as a condition, a hit count, or a filter condition to narrow down the number of times the debugger will stop.
A useful tool when you need to step through a loop or when your dataset is big but you are only interested in a specific subset of them.
