Debugging projects in Visual Studio
Before discussing the breakpoint topic in depth in the Exploring breakpoints in Visual Studio 2022 section, it is important that you know some technical aspects used in the debugging world, as well as in Visual Studio.
Understanding the technical aspects of debugging
It is important that you know the difference between the terms debugger and debugging so that you know what I mean when I mention any of these terms during the chapter and the book.
First, the term debugging refers to the action of looking for errors in the code. This does not necessarily include the use of a tool such as an IDE. You could, for example, search for errors in code written on a piece of paper, and you would still be debugging.
This is usually not feasible, and a tool called a debugger is often used. This tool is attached to the application process you are going to run, allowing you to analyze your code while the application is running.
