5.1. Hacks 36-43
The ability to debug an application is arguably what turns an
excellent text editor into an interactive development environment.
Without debugging, Visual Studio is really just a feature-rich text
editor that allows you to compile applications. With debugging,
Visual Studio turns into an invaluable development tool. If I were to
argue the merits of using an IDE versus using just a normal text
editor to develop applications, debugging would be one of the pillars
of my argument.
Visual Studio provides a rich debugging experience. You can set
breakpoints in your code, step through application execution line by
line, and read and set the value of variables while the application
is executing.
The hacks in this chapter show you how to get the most out of
debugging with Visual Studio. You will learn how to set breakpoints,
troubleshoot breakpoints, and halt the execution of your application
when exceptions are thrown. You will also learn how to debug
scripting languages like JavaScript and VBScript, as well as how to
debug T-SQL that's running on an instance of SQL
Server.
This chapter will help you learn how to better debug your
applications, leading to more productive development and more
efficient bug resolution.
