Variable Breakpoint Property Sheet
See Also
You can view the properties of a variable breakpoint by right-clicking
its name in the Breakpoints view of the Debugger window and choosing Properties. A variable breakpoint has the following properties:
- Class Name. Shows the name of the class in which the breakpoint is set.
- Condition. Specifies a Boolean expression that triggers the breakpoint when the expression evaluates to True. For information on the syntax rules for setting a condition, see Setting a Condition on a Breakpoint.
- Enabled. If True, stops the program when the program reaches the
breakpoint. If False, removes the breakpoint from your source code but saves the breakpoint for later use.
- Field Name. Specifies the name of the field that contains the breakpoint.
- Print Text. Specifies the text to print in the Debugger Console view of the Output window when the breakpoint is reached. For information on the tags you can include in the message, see Printing a Breakpoint Message.
- Stop On. Specifies the action that triggers the breakpoint. Variable Access stops your program when it queries a variable in the specified class and field. Variable Modification stops your program when the value of the variable changes.
-
Suspend Debugging. If True, temporarily stops all threads in the debugging session when the program reaches the breakpoint.
-
Valid. The debugger sets this property. If True, the breakpoint has been successfully set in
the debugged VM. This action happens when the breakpoint's class is loaded and the chosen line exists and contains some instructions. If False, one of the conditions has not been satisfied.
One reason why Valid might be False is that the source is out of sync with the debugged class.
