How can I set a breakpoint in referenced code in Visual Studio?

Question

My main solution is using code from a utility class library, that I wrote myself, but is a part from another solution. How can I set a breakpoint in the referenced DLL file?

Answer 1

follow these steps:

1. Go to Debug
2. Go to New Breakpoint
3. Click on Function Breakpoint or simple press the Ctrl+K, B
4. a window shows up, type the function name in the following format:

namespace.ClassName.FunctionName

For example, assume that you have a code like this and I want to put a breakpoint at the beginning of function D:

namespace A.B{
    public class C{
          public void D(){
               int x= 10;
          }
    }
}

So in Function Breakpoint window you need to type: A.B.C.D
