Debugging

note

Rider's debugger does not support the following types of applications:

• Single-file applications — applications that were built with the /p:PublishSingleFile=true flag.

• Native applications that host CLR to run .NET code. For example, applications that use CLR Hosting.

Debugger is an integral part of JetBrains Rider that allows you to examine the runtime behavior of your application, identify problematic code, and isolate the source of the problem step by step.

The major part of debugging activities takes place in the Debug window, which becomes available once you start debugging. To open this window, press Alt05 or select View | Tool Windows | Debug in the main menu.

While debugging, you can also perform the most common debugger actions from the AltEnter menu. For example Run to Cursor, Skip to Cursor or Toggle breakpoints:
