As developers, we spend a lot of time debugging code, identifying the root cause of errors, and ultimately fixing it as part of our daily development activities. Some problems are very easy to identify and fix, while others take an enormous amount of time to identify. In fact, I sometimes spent more time debugging than writing the actual code.
Visual Studio provides several tools to help you debug your code smoothly and efficiently. There are only a few important tools that you will use frequently, such as breakpoints, the watch window, and the process attachment window.
