  4. Breakpoints • Debugging with Breakpoints • Step Over • Step Into • Step Out • Continue • Set Next Statement • Show Next Statement • Run to cursor • Labeling in Break Point • Conditional Breakpoint • Breakpoint Hit Count • Breakpoint When Hit Reference: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/79508/Mastering-Debugging-in-Visual-Studio-A-Beginn

  5. Data Tip • Pin Inspect Value During Debugging • Drag-Drop Pin Data Tip • Adding Comments • Import Export Data Tips • Change Value Using Data Tips • Inspect containers • Clear Data Tips

  6. Debug Windows • Watch Windows • Locals • Autos • return value from last statement • File base address • Watch • Memory Window • Immediate Window • Call Stack
