Breakpoint Generator Extension
Nov 19, 2015Andrew B Hall - MSFT
Summary
Introduces the Breakpoint Generator extension for Visual Studio 2015 and C# projects. This extension automatically scans source code to identify public methods and places breakpoints with configurable trace messages at the beginning of each method. It leverages the Roslyn SDK for code analysis and supports tracepoints that log messages to the output window, which can also appear as IntelliTrace events. The trace message format is configurable using keywords, and the 'Continue Execution' option can be set to prevent breakpoints from stopping the application. Future plans include support for VB.NET and improved performance.
