A useful Visual Studio extension: the Breakpoint Generator

I recently learned about a nice little extension to Visual Studio called the Breakpoint Generator. Although it's very easy to click the left margin of the code editor to set and remove breakpoints, the Breakpoint Generator can create dozens of breakpoints automatically at meaningful points.

Better yet, the extension actually converts the breakpoints into tracepoints, which can output text to the Visual Studio Output window. By automatically setting tracepoints, you can see how the execution of your application flows, and see for example variables values, too.

You can download the extension here.

Happy hacking!
