Debugging Applications
Breakpoints and Debug Mode
Add breakpoints at different lines in your applications.
Run your application in debug mode.
When you execute your code, the debugger will stop at your breakpoints and tell you the current state of your application: values of variables, call stack, etc.
Debugging Tools
Visual Studio provides the following debugging tools that appear when you are in debug mode:
Watch: You can add variables and watch their current values change over time.
Autos: The same as Watch except the variables in scope are automatically found.
Locals: Just like Autos except it only shows variables specifically in the local scope.
Call Stack: Shows how deep you are in the call stack and allows you to jump to different function calls for each level.
