Navigating code with the debugger - Visual Studio (Windows)

  • Article
  • Reading takes 8 minutes

Applies to: Visual StudioVisual Studio for Mac Visual Studio Code

Use the Visual Studio debugger to step through code to inspect application status and view the execution sequence, also called by stepping through code . You can use keyboard shortcuts, debug commands, breakpoints, and other features to quickly jump to the code you want to examine. If you're familiar with the commands and keyboard shortcuts for navigating the debugger, you can quickly and easily find and fix problems with applications.

Note

If you are unfamiliar with debugging code, we recommend that you read the Debugging for Beginners document and Debugging Techniques and Tools before you complete the tasks in this article. nine0017

Entering suspend mode

In suspend mode , application execution is suspended, but functions, variables, and objects remain in memory. When the debugger is in break mode, you can navigate through your code. There are two standard ways to quickly enter break mode:

  • Start stepping code by pressing F10 or F11 . This will allow you to quickly find the application's entry point. You can then continue to press jump commands to move through the code. nine0017

  • Execute code to a specific location or function, such as setting a breakpoint and running the application.

    For example, in the code editor in Visual Studio, you can use the Run to current position command to run the application, attach the debugger, and enter break mode, and then press F11 to navigate through the code:

In break mode, you can navigate through the code using various commands. You can search for errors and data integrity violations by checking the values ​​of variables. For some project types, you can also make adjustments in the application. nine0017

Most debugger windows, such as Modules and Watch , are only available when the debugger is attached to the application. Some debugger features, such as viewing variable values ​​in the Local Variables window or evaluating expressions in the Watch Values ​​window , are available only when the debugger is paused (that is, in break mode).

Note

If source files or symbol files (.pdb) are not loaded during code break, the debugger displays page Source file not found or Symbols not found which will help you find and download files. See Specifying Symbol (.pdb) and Source Code Files in the Visual Studio Debugger. If you cannot load source files or symbol files, you can debug assembly language instructions in window Disassemble .

Stepping through code

You can use debugger stepping commands to check the state of an application or examine its execution sequence. nine0017

Step into code

To stop execution on each statement while debugging, use the command Debug > Step Into or press the key F11 .

The debugger steps through code statements instead of physical lines. For example, the sentence if can be written on one line:

  • C#
  • VB 
 int x = 42; string s = "Not answered"; if( int x == 42) s = "Answered!"; nine0103 
 But when stepping through this line, the debugger treats the condition as one step and the result as another step. In the previous example, the condition is met. 
 
 When calling nested functions, the command  Step into  allows you to get to the deepest nested function. For example, if you use  Step into  on a call to  Func1(Func2())  , the debugger steps into function  Func2  . 
 
 Tip 
 
 As you run each line of code, you can hover over variables to see their values, or use the Local Variables and Watch windows to watch the values ​​change. In addition, you can visually track the call stack as you step into a function. (For information specific to Visual Studio Enterprise only, see Method Mapping in Call Stack Visualization in Debugging.)0017 
 Stepping through code and skipping some functions 
 
 When debugging, you can skip a function. Or perhaps you know that some code works, such as well-tested library code. You can use the following commands to skip code during stepping. The functions still run, but the debugger skips them. 
  nine0133 
  
  Keyboard command   Debug menu command   Description 
  
   F10     Step bypass    If the current line contains a function call,  Step Over  executes the code and then stops execution on the first line of code after control of the called function returns.  
 
   SHIFT  +  F11     Step with exit    Command  Step with exit  resumes code execution and pauses execution when the current function returns. The debugger skips the current function. nine0140 
  
 
 Execute to a specified location or function 
 
 You may want to execute code directly to a specific location or function if you know exactly what code to test or where to start debugging. 
 
 Execute until a code breakpoint 
 
 To set a simple code breakpoint, click in the left margin next to the line of code where you want to pause execution. You can also select a line and press the 9 key0015 F9  , select command  Debug  >  Toggle breakpoint  or right-click and select command  Breakpoint  >  Insert breakpoint  . The breakpoint is displayed as a red circle in the left margin next to the line of code. The debugger pauses execution just before the line is executed. 
 
 
 
 
 
 Breakpoints in Visual Studio provide a rich set of features such as conditional breakpoints and tracepoints. For more information, see Using Breakpoints. nine0017 
 Execute until a function breakpoint 
 
 You can instruct the debugger to execute until a specific function is reached. You can specify a function by name or select it from the call stack. 
 
  Specify a function breakpoint by name  
 
     
  1.  
     Select a command  Debug  >  Create a breakpoint  >  Function breakpoint  . 
     
    2.  
  2.  
     In the dialog box  New function breakpoint  enter the name of the function and select its language: 
     
     
     
     
     
    3.  
  3.  
     Click  OK  . 
     
    4.  
 
 If the function is overloaded or located in several namespaces, the desired function can be selected in the window  stops : 
 
 
 
 
 
  Challenge of the Call Steach  
 
     
  1.  
     During debugging, open the window  glasses  by selecting item  Debug  >  Windows  >  Call Stack  . 
     
    2.  
  2.  
     In the  Call Stack window , right-click the function name and select  Run to Current Position  or press  CTRL  +  F10  . 
     
    3.  
 
 For information about visually tracking the call stack, see Method Mapping in Call Stack Visualization in Debugging. 
 
 Execute until cursor 
 
 To execute code up to the cursor position, in the source code window or in the  Call stack window  select the line where you want to break execution, then right-click it and select  Run to current position  or press  CTRL  +  F10  . Selecting command  Run to current position  is the same as setting a temporary breakpoint. 
 
 Force execution to cursor position 
 
 To execute code to cursor position, in source window or window  Call stack  select the line where you want to break execution, then right-click it and select  Force Run To Cursor  (Forced execution to the cursor location). If you select parameter  Force execution to cursor  , all breakpoints and primary exceptions will be skipped until the debugger reaches the line of code where the cursor is. 
 
 Execute until clicked 
 
 While the debugger is paused, you can hover over a statement in source code or in window  Disassemble  and click the green arrow icon  Run to this location  . If command  is used Execute until clicked  allows you not to set a temporary breakpoint. 
 
 
 
 Note 
 
 The  Run to Click command  is available starting with Visual Studio 2017. 0015 SHIFT  , and select item  Force execution to current position  (icon with two green arrows). When this option is selected, the application attaches the Visual Studio debugger and pauses at the cursor position. All breakpoints and primary exceptions encountered during execution are temporarily disabled. 
 
 
 
 Note 
 
 The  Force to Click  command is available starting with Visual Studio 2022. 
 
 Manually pausing code execution 
 
 To pause execution at the next available line of code in a running application, select  Debug  >  Break All  or press  CTRL  +  ALT  +  BREAK  . 
 
 When the debugger is paused, a yellow arrow in the source code field or window  Disassembled code  marks the location of the next statement to be executed. You can change the next statement to be executed by moving this arrow. You can skip the code or return to the previous line. Moving the pointer is useful for situations such as skipping code that contains a known bug. nine0017 
 
 
 
 
 The debugger must be in break mode to change the next statement to be executed. In the source window or the  Disassembled Code  window, drag the yellow arrow to another line, or right-click the line you want to execute next and select  Set Next Statement  . 
 
 The program counter jumps directly to the new location. Instructions between the old and new points are not executed. However, moving the execution point back does not cancel intermediate instructions. nine0017 
 Attention! 
 
     
  •  Moving the next statement to a different function or scope usually corrupts the call stack, causing a run-time error or exception. If you try to move the next statement to another area, the debugger will issue a warning and a chance to cancel the operation. 
    •  
  •  In Visual Basic, you cannot move the next statement to another scope or function. 
    •  
  •  In native C++ code, if runtime checks are enabled, setting the next statement may throw an exception when execution reaches the end of the method. nine0004 
  •  When the  Edit and continue operation is enabled  the  Set next statement  command will fail if you make changes that the  Edit and continue  operation cannot apply immediately. For example, this could happen if changes were made inside the catch block. When this situation occurs, an error message appears indicating that the operation is not supported. 
    •  
  •  In managed code, you cannot move the next statement in the following cases: 
       
    •  The next statement is in a different method than the current statement. 
      •  
    •  Debugging has been started via JIT debugging. 
      •  
    •  The call stack is being cleared. 
      •  
    •  A System.StackOverflowException or System.Threading.ThreadAbortException was thrown. 
      •  
     
    •  
 
 Debugging non-custom code 
 
 By default, the debugger tries to debug only your application code, because feature 9 is enabled0019 Only my code is  . To learn more about how this feature works with different project types and languages, and how to set it up, see Just My Code. 
 
 To view platform code, third-party library code, or system calls while debugging, you can turn off Just My Code. Under  Tools  (or  Debugging  ) >  Options  >  Debugging , uncheck  Include just my code  . When Just My Code is disabled, debugger windows display non-user code, and the debugger can step through it. nine0017 
 Note 
 
 Just My Code mode is not supported for device projects. 
 
 System code debugging 
 
 If you have downloaded debugging symbols for Microsoft system code and disabled Just My Code, you can step into a system call just like any other call. 
 
 For information about downloading Microsoft symbols, see Configuring Symbol File Locations and Download Options. 
 
  To download symbols for a specific system component: nine0016 
 
     
  1.  
     During debugging, Open the window  Modules , selecting paragraph  Debugging >  Windows >  Modules  or by pressing the keys  CTRL  +  ALT  +  U . 
     
    2.  
  2.  
     You can determine for which modules the symbols are loaded by looking at the value in column  Symbol Status  in window  Modules  . Right-click the module you want to load symbols for and select  Download symbols  . 
     
    3.  
 
 Stepping into properties and operators in managed code 
 
 By default, the debugger bypasses properties and operators when stepping through managed code. In most cases, this improves the convenience and efficiency of debugging. To disable property and statement stepping, select  Debug  >  Options  . On page  Debug  >  General  uncheck  Bypass properties and operators (managed code only)  .
