This might have very obvious solution but I'm afraid I cannot find out how to disable this specific page which pops up each single time I use the break command whilst debugging. Every time I have to close it because I don't need it; moreover, it pops up any next time I use the break command on the toolbar.
I'm using Visual Basic Express Edition 2010
How can this be disabled?
Thanks.
Just don't use Debug + Break All. It is typically useless anyway because it is pretty unlikely that you'll break your own code. Which is what the window is telling you. Set a breakpoint on a line of your own code, the code you want to debug or verify. Clicking in the left margin will set one.

Regular Visual studio has this nice feature. I don't think it is available in VS Code.
When a breakpoint hits you can jump right to bebugging (pressing f5,f10 etc) without having to click on the IDE first. I love this feature. Does anyone know if VS Code supports this as well?
I think it is supposed to focus the vscode window. There is this setting:
Debug : Focus Window on Break
which is enabled by default. But see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/80441 and https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/77213 it looks there are issues.
It doesn't work for me either on Win10. I added my example to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/105913. You may want to do the same.
I have been given a project that is the biggest pile of spaghetti I have ever seen, with 0 unit tests or any obvious naming conventions.
I find it hard to believe there is still no way while running in Debug to have Visual Studio automatically break on the next executing line of solution code.
In this case, I know the code is hitting a specific 5000 line of code file - but there isn't even an easy way to just write a breakpoint to every single line!
Is there any logical reason why in 2017 (or even 2010) this functionality doesn't exist?
Or perhaps it does and I haven't found out how!

Please Put a break point in your code -> debug, then Right click on the text editor in VS, you will see below:
You can use the "Break all" button in the visual studio (Ctrl+Alt+Break is the default shortcut).
You might need to switch between the running threads in order to see highlighted instruction within your code.
Then you can just continue debugging, as usual.
If you do not see any of those two controls, go to View->Toolbars and check both "Debug" and "Debug Location".
I've been working on a C# project and I don't know the program flow. I want to know all the executing codes in a particular flow. I can press the pause button to check current executing code, but to check entire flow, I need to keep on pressing F11 or next line, which is cumbersome. BTW, I got it from here
Find out what line of code my app is currently running in Visual Studio's debug mode
I would like to know is there any way in visual studio to check currently executing code without pausing or placing break points?
I often use the VS debugging breakpoint or debug menu options like "Step Into/Out" or use the pausing button.
But if you don't want to use them, the Runtime Flow tool is a workaround I know which can help you see code that is executed:
Find out which line will be executed in Visual Studio debug mode
A feature request for VS IDE:
https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio-ide/suggestions/17332198-is-there-any-way-to-check-currently-executing-code
In VS2017, debug has a new feature called "Run execution to here", I know that it doesn't really meet your requirement, but it is a better workaround if you don't want to step Into debugging one step by one step. Move your mouse to the icon and click the button, now your code will run and stop on that line the next time it is hit in your code path.
If you want this ability at debug time then consider IntelliTrace
ReSharper has a Call Tracking feature that can display incoming and outgoing calls sequenced in an interactive, graphical tree view.
See if this helps.
The issue here is that there is code running but you don't know where and you want to see what is going on. A good example is the code is stuck in a loop somewhere but you don't know where.
To break-into the running code:
Option 1: Select the 'Debug' menu item, and then select the 'Break All' menu item.
Option 2: Press keys Ctrl+Alt+Break.
This will break into the code where it is executing and you will step into debugging just as if you hit a breakpoint.
Happy debugging!
I am using Visual Studio 2010, and because of the amount of debug output I'm producing, and the difficulty of finding the beginning of the output for a new run, I have been manually using the Debug "Clear All" action (from the mouse right-click popup menu on the Debug output window). Plus I have to put some kind of break or dialog box in the beginning, just so I have a chance to do this before the debug output gets going.
Well after a couple of thousand times, this is getting very, very old (seriously, because its come up in almost every programming project I've done in the last five years). But I cannot seem to find any option or simple Debug.{method} to do this automatically for me.
This has been bugging me forever, and though its a simple question, I have never found an easy answer (short of writing my own listener) in any version of the .net VS IDE's.
Anyone know how to do this or have any ideas? thnx..
Right click the middle of the output window and turn off all but Program Output
What I do in cases like this is to use Debug View but to see the debug output in Debug view you need to detach the process from you visual studio debugger. You can do that through the Debug->Processes window.
What debug view provides is extra highlighting and coloring of different kind of debug output so that the relevant things are easily recognizable. Furthermore, you can stop receiving debug output by simply hitting a key on its toolbar.
I know that this might not answer your question but this at least gives you an option to do it otherwise.
I just switched to VS2008, and intellisense is even more 'helpful' there than in 2005.
I'm finding it to really break my concentration having it pop up every time I reach the end of a token or key word or whatever. I have to hit ESC or ignore it and it's really annoying.
I've not been able to find a setting to delay its activation. I do want it, so can't just cripple it, but I'd like it to wait for a second or two pause in my typing to activate.
Anyone know if there is such an option somewhere in Visual Studio?
I don't know if such option exists, but why don't you disable it and use Ctrl+Space and Ctrl+J when needed?
You might want to take a look a this forum post about Recommended Settings for intellisense. Though it seems as of Visual Studio 2005, IntelliSense is now activated by default when the user begins to type, instead of requiring marker characters.
Hope this helps some.
