You can place the debugger in a break state at any point.

To place the debugger in a break state

  • From the Debug menu, choose Break All.

    Debugger behavior at a breakpoint depends on the current circumstances.

    • If the debugger does not have PDB information that maps to the break address, it displays the disassembly code.
    • If the debugger has PDB information and the name of the source file, but cannot locate the source file using the path contained in the PDB file, then the debugger displays the Find Source Dialog Box.
    • If the debugger has PDB information, and has the source file name and its path, it displays the source code and you can immediately do source-level debugging.
