Debugging - A dive into Breakpoints
summary
Visual Studio 2019 and .NET Core 3 add data breakpoints that stop when a heap object’s value changes; on older .NET use conditional breakpoints tied to a unique ID to catch the setter and then inspect the call stack. Breakpoint actions write formatted messages to the Output window or assign values at runtime (example: when i == 0 set i = 250) and can be set to continue execution so loops skip inspected iterations without editing code.
