Discuss what a breakpoint is and how to use it.

What will be an ideal response?


A good way to collect information is to pause the execution of the code where a possible error could occur. One way to pause execution is to use breakpoints. Breakpoints are stop points placed in the code to tell the Visual Studio 2010 debugger where and when to pause the execution of the application. During this pause, the program is in break mode. While in break mode, you can examine the values in all variables that are within the scope of execution through the use of DataTips.
