  • If the breakpoint is dependent on tracepoint it hits only after the tracepoint is hit. (i.e., after the trace/log message is printed in the output window)

Debugging & Diagnostics

  • IEnumerable visualizer will help explore larger collections objects in a more streamlined way in the tabular/ data grid view.It supports IEnumerable<T> collections where T can be simple types or complex types like dictionaries, encapsulated.
