Setting Breakpoints for Variables

[Mortimer Schnurd]

Hi folks,
I am just learning C# and need some help with setting debugger
breakpoints. In VB 6, I could easily set breakpoints on variables
which either change in value or evaluate to a specific value. It
appears C# does not allow you to do this (at least not easily). This
functionality was extremely useful in many instances of VB 6
debugging.

Is there some way in which I can emulate this same functionality in
C#? I've tried various methods including throwing an exception base on
an evaluation of a variable. This does allow the program to break into
debugger at that point but does not allow you to continue.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Are you looking for:

Trace.Assert (from System.Diagnostics) as in:

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
int iVar = 4;
Trace.Assert(iVar > 4, "This integer is less than five");
}

You might also be refering to break point properties....

Set a break point....then right click on the line and select break
point properties......
