Are you talking about setting a breakpoint and then setting its properties

I understand the VS2005 still doesn't support data breakpoints in VB. My
question is this.. does anybody know of a 3rd party product that DOES
support data breakpoints in VB?
As an aside, does anyone know why it seems to be so hard to impliment data
breakpoints in VB? It is such a valuable tool.
Thanks
Data breakpoints are designed to break at any point in project. The
conditional breakpoints only will break on a certain line if the value
has changed, and not on any line the value changed. Essentially, a
data breakpoint is like a conditional breakpoint on every line in the
project.
As far as support goes, the only time that data breakpoints are
available are when writing native code, presumably in C++. I believe I
read somewhere this is because the managed Garbage Collector would
make true data breakpoints impossible (or at least super-hard) to
implement. Although I haven't looked at the Orcas betas yet, it's
possible they have added them in, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Thanks,
