Debugging tips in VS

1. Sometimes you may need to tell debugger to break when some variable equals to a value as follows

if  (MyStringVariable  ==   " LKOH " ) 
Debugger.Break();

Refer to System.Diagnostics namespace

2. Remember VS debugger shortcuts helps:

Shortcut	Description
Ctrl-Alt-V, A	Displays the Auto window to view the values of variables currently in the scope of the current line of execution within the current procedure
Ctrl-Alt-Break	Temporarily stops execution of all processes in a debugging session. Available only in run mode
Ctrl-Shift-F9	Clears all of the breakpoints in the project
Ctrl-Alt-Q	Displays the Quick Watch dialog with the current value of the selected expression. Available only in break mode. Use this command to check the current value of a variable, property, or other expression for which you have not defined a watch expression
Ctrl-Shift-F5	Terminates the current debugging session, rebuilds if necessary, and then starts a new debugging session. Available in break and run modes
F5	If not currently debugging, this runs the startup project or projects and attaches the debugger. If in break mode, this allows execution to continue (i.e., it returns to run mode).
Ctrl-F5	Runs the code without invoking the debugger. For console applications, this also arranges for the console window to stay open with a "Press any key to continue" prompt when the program finishes
F11	Executes code one statement at a time, tracing execution into function calls
Shift-F11	Executes the remaining lines of a function in which the current execution point lies
F10	Executes the next line of code but does not step into any function calls
Shift-F5	Available in break and run modes, this terminates the debugging session
F9	Sets or removes a breakpoint at the current line
