Examine suspended program

Last modified: 19 November 2024

You can examine the state of the suspended application by analyzing frames.

When the code is running in debug mode, there are two ways to suspend it:

  • Set breakpoints in the code that you want to examine and wait until one of them is hit.

  • Break program execution with CtrlAltBreak. The debugger will finish the statement that is executing at the moment you pause, and then stop at the statement that should be executed next.

In the suspended state, the current execution point — the next statement to be executed — is marked with a yellow execution pointer Execution pointer in the left-hand gutter of the editor. To quickly find the current execution point, press AltNumPad * or click Show Execution Point Show Execution Point in the Debug window.
