The following tables describe the pages (or properties collections) that are associated with the Debugging category, DTE.Properties("Debugging", <Property Page>) of the Options dialog box.
General
DTE.Properties("Debugging", "General")
| Property Item Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PromptOnBreakpointDelete | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger prompts for permission before deleting all breakpoints in a project. |
| BreakAllProcesses | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger breaks all processes whenever a single process breaks. |
| BreakAtBoundaries | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger breaks execution when an exception crosses a border between AppDomains or between managed and native code. |
| EnableAddressLevelDebugging | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether address-level debugging features are enabled. |
| ShowDisassemblyIfNoSource | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger displays disassembly code when source code is not available. |
| EnableBreakpointFilters | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether breakpoint filtering is enabled. |
| EnableExceptionAssistant | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the Exception Assistant is used for managed exceptions. |
| UnwindCallstack | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger unwinds the call stack for an unhandled exception. |
| EnableJustMyCode | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether Just My Code is enabled for C# and for Visual Basic code. |
| ShowAllMembers | Get/Set (Boolean) | For non-user objects, determines whether the debugger displays all object members in the variables windows. This option has no effect unless Just My Code is enabled. |
| WarnIfNoUserCode | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger emits a warning when the user tries to attach to a process that has no user code. This option has no effect unless Just My Code is enabled. |
| EnablePropertyEvaluation | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger automatically evaluates properties and implicit function calls in managed code. |
| CallStringConversion | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger implicitly calls a string conversion function on objects in the variables windows. This option applies to C# and JScript code only. |
| EnableSourceServer | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger can access code from a source server. |
| PrintSourceServerDiagnostics | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the Output window shows diagnostic messages related to the source server. This option has no effect unless source server access is enabled. |
| HighlightEntireLine | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger highlights an entire line for breakpoints and the current statement. |
| RequireSourceToMatch | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger requires source files to exactly match the original version when you open files for debugging. |
| RedirectOutputToImmediate | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether Output window output is redirected to the Immediate Window. |
| ShowRawVariableStructure | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether objects in the variables windows are shown in raw form. |
| SuppressJitOptimization | Get/Set (Boolean) | For managed code, determines whether just-in-time optimization is suppressed by the debugger. |
| WarnIfNoSymbols | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger displays a warning if no debugging symbols are available when a process is launched. |
| WarnIfScriptDisabled | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger displays a warning if script debugging is not enabled when a process is launched. |
| ShowMarkersForAllThreads | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger displays thread markers. |
| StepOverPropertiesAndOperators | Get/Set (Boolean) | Specifies whether to step over properties and operators in managed code only. |
Edit and Continue
DTE.Properties("Debugging", "EditAndContinue")
| Property Item Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| EnableEditAndContinue | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether Edit and Continue is enabled. This option applies to all languages that support Edit and Continue. |
| InvokedByCommands | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether Edit and Continue automatically applies code changes when the user selects a debugging command such as Step or Continue. This option applies to native code only. |
| InvokedByCommandsAskFirst | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether Edit and Continue prompts the user for permission to apply code changes when the user selects a debugging command such as Step or Continue. This option applies to native code only. |
| WarnAboutStaleCode | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger issues a warning message when Edit and Continue would result in the execution of out-of-date, or stale, code. This option applies to native code only. |
| RelinkChangesOnStop | Get/Set (Short) | Determines whether Visual Studio relinks code changes applied by Edit and Continue when execution of the application stops. This option applies to native code only. |
| AllowPrecompiling | Get/Set (Short) | Determines whether Edit and Continue is allowed to load precompiled headers in the background. This option applies to native code only. |
Just-In-Time
DTE.Properties("Debugging", "JustInTime")
| Property Item Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| JitManaged | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether Just-In-Time Debugging is enabled for managed code. |
| JitNative | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether Just-In-Time Debugging is enabled for native code. |
| JitScript | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether Just-In-Time Debugging is enabled for script code. |
Native
DTE.Properties("Debugging", "Native")
| Property Item Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| LoadDllExports | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger loads DLL export tables. |
| EnableRPC | Get/Set (Boolean) | Determines whether the debugger can step into COM remote procedure calls. |
